Review findings on the rebased branch.
Number.parseInt accepted partial values, so GATEGUARD_FACT_FORCE_MAX_DENIALS
set to '3.5', '3oops', or '0x3' silently became a finite cap of 3 and weakened
the gate on a typo. The value is now matched whole and anything that is not a
complete non-negative decimal integer leaves the gate uncapped, which is the
stricter outcome.
Also names the setting in the condensed denial's recovery text, so a capped
session can discover the control that is dampening it, and documents that
malformed values fall back to uncapped.
Tests: adds a Write pass-through case, an exact-boundary case where the denial
that reaches the cap still denies and the next path passes, one case per
malformed value, and an assertion that the condensed denial names the cap.
Pass-through assertions now require a parsed output object rather than
accepting a missing one. 207 hook tests pass.
