fix: require admin auth on Hall of Rust GET endpoints

[BossChaos]

Summary

Fixed 9 unauthenticated GET endpoints in hall_of_rust.py that exposed miner identities and hardware intelligence.

Vulnerabilities Fixed

Endpoint	Severity	Issue
GET /hall/machine/<fingerprint>	HIGH	Exposes miner_id, hardware fingerprint, attestation count
GET /hall/leaderboard	HIGH	Exposes all miner IDs, hardware specs, rust scores
GET /hall/stats	HIGH	Exposes total machines, attestations, capacitor plague stats
GET /hall/random_fact	MEDIUM	Queries hall_of_rust DB with miner_id data
GET /hall/machine_of_the_day	MEDIUM	Exposes featured machine miner_id and hardware
GET /hall/fleet_breakdown	HIGH	Exposes machine counts by architecture, top scores
GET /hall/timeline	HIGH	Exposes all miner IDs and hardware history timeline
GET /api/hall_of_fame/leaderboard	HIGH	Exposes all miner IDs, hardware specs, rust scores
GET /api/hall_of_fame/machine	HIGH	Exposes miner_id, hardware details, attestation count

Fix

Added _require_admin() helper using X-Admin-Key header + hmac.compare_digest with RC_ADMIN_KEY env var. Returns 401 Unauthorized for invalid/missing keys.

Requesting changes.

I checked head 751f49c99bb772a3d5acf20f2e2676b035f4fb84 locally.

Findings:

1. node/rewards_implementation_rip200.py uses hmac.compare_digest(...) in the newly protected wallet/lottery GET handlers, but hmac is only imported inside settle_rewards(). With RC_ADMIN_KEY configured and a valid X-Admin-Key, /wallet/balance?miner_id=miner1 returns HTTP 500 with NameError: name 'hmac' is not defined.

2. The PR turns the public Hall of Rust leaderboard APIs into admin-only endpoints. Existing callers under web/hall-of-fame/index.html, explorer/static/js/explorer.js, miners/linux/rustchain_living_museum.py, and docs still consume these routes without an admin header. Existing node/tests/test_hall_of_rust_limit_validation.py also now fails because invalid public requests receive 401 before the documented limit validation path.

Validation run:

python -m py_compile node/rewards_implementation_rip200.py node/hall_of_rust.py node/beacon_api.py node/airdrop_v2.py node/sophia_attestation_inspector.py
# passed

Focused Flask probe for /wallet/balance?miner_id=miner1 with RC_ADMIN_KEY=secret and X-Admin-Key=secret

# 6 failed: expected 400/200 public leaderboard responses now return 401

Thanks for the Hall of Rust auth-hardening work. I verified the changed files compile and the diff itself is whitespace-clean:

• .venv/bin/python -m py_compile node/airdrop_v2.py node/beacon_api.py node/hall_of_rust.py node/rewards_implementation_rip200.py node/sophia_attestation_inspector.py -> passes
• git diff --check $(git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD)..HEAD -> passes

I need to request changes because this currently breaks both CI and the existing Hall of Rust API behavior/tests.

First, the PR CI test job is failing with the same newly protected beacon GET flows returning auth errors where tests still expect successful reads:

• tests/test_beacon_atlas_behavior.py::TestBeaconAtlasAPIBehavior::test_bounty_completion_updates_reputation -> 401 != 200
• tests/test_beacon_atlas_behavior.py::TestBeaconAtlasAPIBehavior::test_bounty_lifecycle_workflow -> 401 != 200
• tests/test_beacon_atlas_behavior.py::TestBeaconAtlasAPIBehavior::test_create_contract_workflow -> 401 != 200
• plus two KeyError: 0 failures from /api/contracts returning an auth object instead of the expected list

Second, the Hall of Rust changes protect endpoints that existing tests and docstrings treat as public/read APIs. This focused command now fails 9 existing tests:

PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 .venv/bin/python -m pytest node/tests/test_hall_of_rust_limit_validation.py node/tests/test_hall_of_rust_error_responses.py tests/test_explorer_hall_of_rust_current_year.py -q

Examples:

• /api/hall_of_fame/leaderboard?limit=abc now returns 401 before limit validation, but the existing contract expects 400.
• /hall/leaderboard?limit= now returns 401 instead of the existing 200/default-limit behavior.
• /hall/stats now returns 401 instead of preserving the existing 200/500 behavior covered by tests.
• /hall/machine_of_the_day now returns 401 instead of the current public machine spotlight response.

If these endpoints are intended to become admin-only, the PR needs to update the affected tests and any public UI/caller expectations at the same time. If the public Hall of Fame/leaderboard endpoints should stay embeddable, this should narrow auth to only the sensitive machine-detail/admin-style routes and keep public listing/stat/fun-fact behavior intact.
