Spend-limit proxy can run load tests without counting spend

The spend-limit layer records zero cost in load-test mode and now reports failed spend checks and failed spend writes

What

The spend-limit layer used by an administrator-run gateway has changed in two ways:

  • Load-test mode: when load_test_mode.enabled is set, traffic is recorded as costing nothing, and blocked-spend records are marked as load tests.
  • Failure reporting: a callback now fires when the pre-request spend check fails and when recording spend fails, labelled "check" and "write" respectively.

Previously there was no load-test handling and no failure callback.

Why

Administrators can put load on the gateway to test it without that traffic counting against real spend limits, and spend-check failures such as timeouts become visible.
