Description
etcd surfaces ErrInvalidAuthToken / ErrAuthOldRevision on a live stream when the token expires or the auth revision changes, cancelling affected watchers.

We resolve the token once at stream open and ignore failure (app/etcd/grpc.lua:263-267); READ permission is checked only at watcher create (app/etcd/watch.lua:250-252). The stream then keeps delivering with the cached identity forever. Grep: ErrAuthOldRevision has no analogue anywhere in app/.

Impact: revoking a user's permission or deleting the user does not stop an already-open watch from streaming their keys. Security-relevant, hence P1 rather than P2.
Design
Re-validate the token per event batch and cancel watchers on increment_auth_revision. Needs a way to reach live watchers from the auth module — check whether the watcher registry (watch.lua:42-44) can be indexed by identity without adding contention on the hot delivery path.
Acceptance criteria
Revoking a role mid-stream cancels the watch with the etcd-shaped error; token expiry surfaces on the stream; a test pins both.
