// repeated failures either: at maxAttempts failures it is invalidated and the lockout is recorded
// in lockoutCache; maximumSize is the worst-case bound under a distributed username-rotation
// attack that never tips any single counter to maxAttempts.

// Lockout state lives in a separate Caffeine cache with a per-entry Expiry keyed off the
// lockedUntil instant, so an entry auto-evicts the moment its lockout actually expires by wall
// clock — no scheduled sweeper needed and no unbounded growth from username rotation. Splitting
// the cache closes the cache-eviction "unlock" attack: a flood of junk-username failures can
// evict counters (safe — eviction just resets the count) but cannot evict an active lockout
// (Caffeine's expireAfter only evicts entries whose TTL has actually elapsed). The maximumSize
// cap is therefore safe to apply: the only entries it would evict early are those past their
// lockedUntil instant.

// it, the only signal is one log line per fault and sustained degradation would re-open the
// enumeration oracle (response stays 401, lockout never trips) without any monitoring hook.
