test(load): add rate-limiter, event-listener, GraphQL, and webhook load scenarios

[Fidelis900]

Summary

Adds four load-test scenarios (k6) and their vitest-testable helper libraries covering issues #1095 – #1098. Each scenario ships with:

• A k6 scenario file under load-tests/scenarios/
• A pure helper module under load-tests/lib/ (no k6 runtime dependency)
• Vitest unit tests under load-tests/scripts/

135 unit tests added; all passing.

#1098 — Rate-limiter accuracy under high concurrent request pressure

Scenario: load-tests/scenarios/ratelimiter-accuracy.js

• Fires 50 VUs concurrently (≈5× the default 100 req/min budget) for one full 60 s window.
• Custom metrics: rl_allowed_requests, rl_denied_requests, rl_error_requests, rl_denied_rate.
• Assertions: allowed count is within ±5 % of the configured budget; all over-budget responses return HTTP 429.
• Helper: lib/ratelimiter-helpers.js — classifyResponse, withinTolerance, buildRateLimitReport, formatRateLimitSummary (28 unit tests).

Parameter	Value
Concurrency	50 VUs
Window	60 s
Budget	100 req/window
Tolerance	±5 %

#1097 — Stellar event-listener stability under sustained ingestion load

Scenario: load-tests/scenarios/event-listener-sustained.js

• Drives 20 VUs posting synthetic Stellar events for 120 s to the ingest endpoint.
• Measures ingestion lag per request (dispatch → ack round-trip).
• Assertions: p95 lag < 500 ms, zero lag violations, ack rate ≥ 99 %.
• Helper: lib/event-listener-helpers.js — computeLagMs, isLagWithinThreshold, buildLagReport, formatLagSummary (23 unit tests).

Parameter	Value
VUs	20
Duration	120 s steady-state
Lag threshold	500 ms

#1096 — GraphQL query performance under sustained concurrent load

Scenario: load-tests/scenarios/graphql-performance.js

• Issues a representative query mix at 20 VUs for 60 s to POST /api/graphql.
• Query mix: 40 % tokens_list · 25 % token_detail · 20 % streams_list · 15 % proposals_list.
• Latency thresholds: p50 < 200 ms · p95 < 500 ms · p99 < 1 000 ms · error rate < 1 %.
• Helper: lib/graphql-helpers.js — selectGraphQLQuery, computePercentile, meetsLatencyThresholds, buildLatencyReport, formatLatencySummary (25 unit tests).

---

#1095 — Webhook delivery throughput benchmark

Scenario: load-tests/scenarios/webhook-throughput.js

• Generates a sustained stream of webhook-triggering POSTs at 20 VUs for 60 s.
• Supports a configurable test sink via WEBHOOK_SINK_URL.
• Thresholds: throughput ≥ 50 deliveries/sec · error rate ≤ 1 % · p95 delivery latency < 2 000 ms.
• Helper: lib/webhook-helpers.js — computeThroughput, computeErrorRate, passesThresholds, buildThroughputReport, formatThroughputSummary (27 unit tests).

Test plan

• cd load-tests && npx vitest run — 135 tests across 5 test files, all passing
• k6 run scenarios/ratelimiter-accuracy.js — requires k6 + running backend
• k6 run scenarios/event-listener-sustained.js — requires k6 + running backend
• k6 run scenarios/graphql-performance.js — requires k6 + running backend
• k6 run scenarios/webhook-throughput.js — requires k6 + running backend + test sink
