The peer (T2) attach path had a per-pair access-control layer
(`[daemon.policy].allow_inbound`): a target-side allow-list of daemon ids
permitted to broker-attach, enforced inside JWT verification, hot-reloadable via
SIGHUP / `POST /api/policy/reload`, with a `maestro policy` CLI. On a flat-trust
perimeter (the operator's VPN/firewall is the boundary for which hosts connect)
that granularity is unused, and deny-by-default made it config friction —
cross-daemon attach silently failed until every peer was listed.
Remove the allow-list; keep the registry-minted pair-attach JWT and ALL its
binding checks (iss=registry, aud=target, sid=session, exp). The firewall gates
host->port reachability; it does not stop a reachable host from attaching to a
session it wasn't handed or replaying a token elsewhere — that's the JWT's job
and it stays. Only the `sub in allow_inbound` check is dropped.
Removed: DaemonPolicySection / [daemon.policy].allow_inbound (config + daemon),
policy.rs (SIGHUP listener + GET/POST /api/policy), the `maestro policy` CLI,
PairAttachVerifier's allow-list field/reload/snapshot + JwtError::NotAllowed,
and the e2e broker_rejects_when_target_doesnt_allow_inbound test. The NAP-265
pre-upgrade-502 path stays covered by broker_attach_returns_502_on_perimeter_mismatch.
Also dropped the unit's ExecReload=kill -HUP: with no SIGHUP handler left,
default SIGHUP disposition is terminate, so wiring `systemctl reload` to it would
kill the daemon. Re-introducing a per-pair gate later is a verify-time change.
