Marc-André Bombeck 15b5f6f92f fix(ingest): hold the stability floor for identities no request schema sees
The dedup key on the medication intake surfaces is not only `externalId`.
`MedicationIntakeEvent.idempotency_key` is a `@unique` column persisted
with the dose row forever, with no TTL and no sweep, matched by plain
equality on the per-medication POST, the bulk drain and the external
ingest bridge. That makes it an identity, not a replay token, and it
carries the same failure mode: a key that rotates per client launch never
matches its own earlier post, so every retry logs the dose again. The
blank case is sharper still — the column is unique table-wide, so an
empty key resolves to whichever unrelated row stored it first. Refuse
both shapes at the schema on the single-entry paths and per entry on the
bulk drain.

The MCP write path hashes a host-supplied key into the `externalId` half
of its dedup key, so the shape is laundered before anything downstream
could see it and the check has to run on the input. That closes a live
one: every tool handler falls back to `""` when the host omits the
argument, and `""` digests to a constant, so each keyless write after the
first reported `already_logged` and was silently dropped.

The HTTP `Idempotency-Key` header stays out, and now says why in the
guard: `IdempotencyKey.expiresAt` bounds it and the cleanup job sweeps
it, so it is a windowed replay token and rotation is its design.

Extend the structural guard with a provenance rule for identities that
never pass a Zod request schema — a spreadsheet column, an MCP tool
argument. Inside the import and MCP trees, a module handling an identity
must apply the floor itself or import a module that does. That is a real
chain rather than a list of known offenders: a new importer that mints an
`externalId` from file input and imports nothing checked fails it, with
no allowlist to escape into.
