"""The credential throttle. DB-free, like the rest of this suite.

The window itself is exercised directly with an injected clock, so nothing here
sleeps: a 15-minute window tested in real time is a test nobody runs twice.

The routes are exercised only as far as they get WITHOUT a database — a throttled
request returns 429 before any session is opened, which is the whole point of
checking the limit before the password. The happy path can't be reached here and is
not pretended at.
