docs: address PR #196 review; update research decisions and PRD
Research doc: close open questions with decisions from review — hard cutover on path_allowlist, drop glob (regex sufficient), stick with Gateway API OR semantics for headers, case-insensitive method names. PRD 0053: adopt Gateway API HTTPRoute match vocabulary (paths, methods, headers) as the route schema replacement for path_allowlist. Add MatchEntry / PathMatch / HeaderMatch types to EgressRoute design; cite the route matching research doc; fold match restructure into chunk 1 alongside the dlp block.

## Design

|

### Route matching: Gateway API `matches` vocabulary
|
||||
|
||||
The existing `path_allowlist` field is replaced by a `matches` list. The
|
||||
vocabulary mirrors Kubernetes Gateway API `HTTPRouteMatch` (see the
|
||||
[route matching research doc](https://gitea.dideric.is/didericis/bot-bottle/src/branch/main/docs/research/yaml-route-matching-formats.md)
|
||||
for a full format survey and rationale). Gateway API was chosen because it
|
||||
is spec-backed, implementation-tested across multiple proxies, and its
|
||||
`{type, value}` pattern is consistent and schema-validatable.
|
||||
|
||||
**AND/OR semantics** (same as Gateway API):
|
||||
- Predicates *within* a single `matches` entry are ANDed.
|
||||
- Multiple entries in the `matches` list are ORed — the route matches if
|
||||
any entry matches.

#### Path matching types
|
||||
|
||||
| `type` | Semantics |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| `exact` | Full path must equal `value` exactly |
|
||||
| `prefix` | Path must start with `value` at a segment boundary (matches `/api/v1` for value `/api/v1`, rejects `/api/v10`) |
|
||||
| `regex` | RE2 regex; rejected at load time if pattern fails to compile. Use for wildcard needs: `/api/[^/]+/data` instead of glob |
|
||||
|
||||
`type` defaults to `prefix` when omitted (preserves the semantic of the
|
||||
old `path_allowlist`).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Method matching
|
||||
|
||||
`methods` is a list of HTTP method names, case-insensitive at parse time —
|
||||
`get`, `GET`, and `Get` are all accepted and stored as uppercase internally.
|
||||
An absent or empty `methods` list means all methods are permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Header matching
|
||||
|
||||
`headers` is a list of `{name, value, type}` objects. ALL listed headers
|
||||
must match (AND semantics). To OR on header values, use multiple `matches`
|
||||
entries.
|
||||
|
||||
| `type` | Semantics |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| `exact` | Header value equals `value` (default when `type` omitted) |
|
||||
| `regex` | Header value matches RE2 regex |
