test(login): satisfy type and coverage gates

Write credentials via a 0600 temp file + os.replace() so the token file
never appears at its final path with world-readable permissions, even if
the process is interrupted between write and chmod.

Parse poll_interval from the authorization response (clamped to 1–60 s,
falling back to _POLL_SLEEP) so aggressive polling can't trigger console
rate limits.

Tests: add atomicity spy asserting the temp file is 0600 before replace;
patch time.sleep instead of _POLL_SLEEP; add explicit interval-passthrough
assertion.

+        sweep in `register`. Neither runs when the launching CLI dies hard —
+        SIGKILL, a closed terminal, a host sleep/crash — so the row outlives
+        its container. That orphan is not inert: source IPs are recycled by
+        the backend's DHCP, and `by_source_ip` fail-closes on ambiguity, so a
+        leftover row at a reused address can brick the *next* bottle that

+        agent as "not in the allowlist"). Reconciling against the live set at
+        launch keeps the registry from accumulating those landmines.
+
+        Restores the invariant the data plane needs: **at most one active row
+        per live address, and none at all for a dead one.** Two cases, because
+        a dead bottle's address may already have been handed to a live one:

+          * a live bottle holds it but several rows claim it — the newest
+            registration is authoritative and the rest are orphans, the same
+            rule `register`'s same-IP supersede sweep applies. Without this
+            second case a recycled address stays ambiguous, which is exactly
+            the state that resolves no policy.
+
+        `grace_seconds` protects an in-flight launch: registration happens
+        moments after `container run`, and a concurrent launch's address may
+        not be visible to the caller's enumeration yet. Rows younger than the
