Stop httpx logging API keys in plaintext

httpx logs every request at INFO as a full URL including the query string, so
the Google Maps key appeared in c2-core's container logs on every geocode call
-- `?address=Holland+Station&...&key=AIza...`. Anyone who can read the logs, or
who is pasted a few lines of them, has the key. It was found exactly that way
while checking why the map was empty.

Nothing in this service needs per-request client logging; callers already log
their own failures with context. httpx and httpcore drop to WARNING, so real
transport errors still surface and the URLs stop being printed.

This does not un-leak the existing key -- it is in the container's log history
and has to be rotated in GCP separately.

+Client for mosquitto's built-in dynamic-security plugin.
+
+WHY THIS EXISTS: MQTT-PUBLIC-AUTH-PLAN.md originally specced the
+mosquitto-go-auth plugin (HTTP backend). That project was archived by its
+maintainer 2025-08-06 ("no more changes") — unacceptable for a broker that's
+about to be reachable from the public internet, no way to get a CVE fix.
+Replaced with mosquitto 2.x's own `dynamic-security` plugin, which ships in
+and is maintained alongside the official eclipse-mosquitto image itself.
+
+HOW DYNSEC WORKS (verified against plugin source on
+github.com/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquitto, 2026-08-16 — see citations inline;
+NOT verified by running anything, per instruction not to execute/deploy
+anything from this machine):
+
+  - The broker persists clients/roles/ACLs in a JSON file at
+    `plugin_opt_config_file` (we point this at /mosquitto/data/, the same
+    volume `persistence_location` already uses — one durable volume for all
+    broker state, see docker-compose.yml).
+  - Admin commands are plain MQTT publishes: JSON `{"commands": [...]}` to
+    `$CONTROL/dynamic-security/v1` (source: plugin.c,
+    `mosquitto_callback_register(plg_id, MOSQ_EVT_CONTROL,
+    dynsec_control_callback, "$CONTROL/dynamic-security/v1", ...)`).
+    Replies come back on `$CONTROL/dynamic-security/v1/response`
+    (source: control.c, `#define RESPONSE_TOPIC
+    "$CONTROL/dynamic-security/v1/response"`).
+  - Per-command JSON fields (verified against clients.c / roles.c handlers
+    and the plugin README):
+      createClient: username, password, clientid, textname, textdescription,
+                    roles: [{rolename, priority}], groups: [...]
+      modifyClient: same fields, username identifies the existing client
+      deleteClient: username
+      createRole:   rolename, textname, textdescription,
+                    acls: [{acltype, topic, priority, allow}]
+    acltype values: publishClientSend, publishClientReceive,
+    subscribeLiteral, subscribePattern, unsubscribeLiteral,
+    unsubscribePattern. %u (username) and %c (clientid) are valid
+    substitutions in `topic` for every type except the two *Literal ones.
+  - On first boot, if `plugin_opt_config_file` doesn't exist, the plugin
+    bootstraps itself (config_init.c): reads env var
+    `MOSQUITTO_DYNSEC_PASSWORD` (or `plugin_opt_password_init_file`) and
+    creates a client literally named "admin" (hardcoded string, NOT
+    configurable — verified in config_init.c's `client_add_admin()`) with
+    three roles: `super-admin` (full pub/sub on `$CONTROL/#` — i.e. this is
+    what makes a client capable of issuing further dynsec commands, and
+    it's an ordinary role, nothing hardcoded beyond the initial grant),
+    `sys-observe` ($SYS/# read-only), `topic-observe` (# read-only, NOT
+    read-write). If MOSQUITTO_DYNSEC_PASSWORD is set (we always set it),
+    no `democlient` demo account gets created — that only happens in the
+    "no password provided, generate one randomly" path.
+  - This is a genuine backend swap, not just config: `allow_anonymous
+    false` plus the *absence* of `password_file`/`acl_file` directives
+    means dynsec is the only auth backend registered — nothing else is
+    there to conflict with it. (Inferred from plugin architecture — every
+    mosquitto auth backend, built-in or plugin, registers the same
+    basic-auth/ACL callback hooks; there's no "layering" mechanism, so
+    without password_file/acl_file directives there is nothing else to
+    check credentials or topics.)
+
+WHAT COULD NOT BE VERIFIED (see also the plan doc + final report):
+  - The exact JSON envelope of a *response* message (only individual
+    command outcomes were confirmed: `mosquitto_control_command_reply(cmd,
+    NULL)` for success, `mosquitto_control_command_reply(cmd, "error
+    string")` for failure — the wrapping object shape, e.g. whether it's
+    `{"responses": [{"command": ..., "error": ...}]}`, was not directly
+    read from source). This client parses defensively: it treats ANY
+    dict containing a non-null "error"/"Error" key anywhere in the
+    top-level response payload as failure, presence of "already exists" in
+    that string as an idempotent success, and a response with no such key
+    within the timeout as success. A response timeout is always a hard
+    failure (never assumed to mean success).
+  - "Client already exists" was confirmed verbatim as createClient's
+    error string; "already exists" for createRole is assumed analogous,
+    not directly confirmed.
+
+TWO-SOURCES-OF-TRUTH: Firestore's `node_keys` collection is the source of
+truth for node credentials (nothing changes there); dynamic-security.json
+is a derived cache the broker uses to authenticate. `reconcile_all()`
+rebuilds every approved node's dynsec client from Firestore and is called
+on every c2-core startup — so a lost/corrupted dynamic-security.json (e.g.
+volume wiped) self-heals on the next restart instead of silently locking
+out every node. `upsert_node_client()`/`delete_node_client()` are also
+called synchronously from routers/nodes.py's approve/reissue/delete
+handlers and raise on failure — those endpoints now fail loudly (502)
+instead of updating Firestore while dynsec silently didn't get the memo.

 - resolved: true only when the scene explicitly signals "Code 4", "all clear", "10-42", "in custody", "patient transported", "fire out", "GOA", "negative contact", "scene clear".
 - cleared_units: only include units that explicitly stated their own back-in-service status in this recording (e.g. "Unit 7, 10-8", "Baker-1 available", "E-14 back in service", or the department ten-code for available/back-in-service listed above). Silence or absence of a unit is NOT clearance. A scene-wide Code 4 belongs in resolved=true, not here — cleared_units is for individual unit availability signals only.

+Call-audio storage and playback links.

+TWO THINGS THIS MODULE DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO ANY MORE:
+
+1. It does not return a GCS *signed* URL from the upload path. Signing needs a
+   service-account private key, and the deployed VM runs on Application Default
+   Credentials with no key file (see ansible c2-core.env.j2). The old code
+   silently fell back to returning a bare ``gs://`` URI, which broke two things
+   at once: browsers can't fetch a gs:// URI, so no recording was ever
+   playable, and ``_public_url_to_gcs_uri`` in upload.py returned None for it,
+   so the transcription step was skipped without logging anything at all.
+
+2. It does not store a long-lived URL on the call document. What gets persisted
+   is the canonical ``gs://`` object location; a short-lived playback link is
+   minted on read instead. Nothing durable and nothing loggable is a credential.
+
+Playback goes through c2-core's own /media route rather than GCS directly,
+because an <audio src> cannot carry an Authorization header — so the link
+itself has to be the credential. It is a plain HMAC over (call_id, expiry)
+keyed by SERVICE_KEY, which costs no network round-trip, keeps the bucket
+fully private, and needs no IAM change on the VM's service account.

+Unit tests for the incident-creation gate and the thin-call activity rule.

+Both behaviours come from the 2026-08-16 correlation dump, where TG 9048
+produced one 28-call / 49-minute incident alongside 32 permanent orphans:
+
+  * Requiring a concrete incident_type to create an incident meant a channel
+    whose traffic never classifies could never open a second incident, so every
+    later call funnelled into whichever incident existed first.
+  * Thin ("10-4") calls refreshed updated_at, which kept that incident
+    permanently inside the fast-path recency gate.

+  },
+  {
+    q: "What's the difference between a 'call' and an 'incident'?",
+    a: "A call is a single radio transmission. An incident is the thing you actually care about — a pursuit, a fire, an accident — built by correlating related calls together, sometimes across multiple talkgroups or nodes. Incidents are the primary view; calls are the evidence behind them.",
+  },
+  {
+    q: "Does DRB do the transcription and AI work itself, or is that a separate cost?",
+    a: "Transcription and incident correlation are included in every paid plan and run automatically on every recorded call. The Community plan includes AI features on a limited call volume; Pro and Enterprise scale with your node count.",
+  },
+  {
+    q: "Can I listen to live radio traffic without opening the dashboard?",
+    a: "Yes — the Discord bot can join a voice channel and relay live audio from any of your nodes, so your team can listen without a separate scanner app.",
+  },
+  {
+    q: "How does node ownership and team access work?",
+    a: "Admins have full access. Operators are scoped to a specific list of nodes they own — they see and manage only those. Viewers get read-only access to everything the org exposes. You manage all of this from Settings → Members.",
+  },
+  {
+    q: "What happens if I go over my plan's node or seat limit?",
+    a: "You'll see a plan-limit notice in Settings → Billing before anything is blocked. In this demo build there's no live enforcement wired up yet — see the Billing settings page for what's stubbed vs. real.",
+  },
+  {
+    q: "How long is call and incident history kept?",
+    a: "Retention depends on plan — 7 days on Community, 90 days on Pro, and a year or more on Enterprise (negotiable). Historical calls remain searchable and linked to their incidents for the full retention window.",
