Closes the monitor-command-feed task in the v0-9-client-compat milestone.

redis-cli monitor now works against Moon, in Redis's exact line format:

+1786689342.340114 [0 127.0.0.1:51823] "SET" "k" "v"

Every token quoted, escaped per byte (sdscatrepr semantics), measured against
redis-server 8.6.1 over raw sockets — the feed's bytes are the contract, and every client
library reformats them before a test could see the difference.

Three things that are not the obvious implementation

Each has a test that fails loudly if someone "fixes" it back.

The line is a SimpleString under RESP3 too — not a Push frame. The reflex straight after
the RESP3 pub/sub work (#483) is to make it a Push. Redis doesn't, and a client reading the
feed expects +. (mon2)

Admin commands are hidden at subcommand granularity, and the rule is NOT
CommandFlags::ADMIN | SKIP_MONITOR.
Both terms measured wrong:

Moon's ADMIN is container-granular using it would have hidden INFO, DBSIZE, CLIENT GETNAME/ID, ACL WHOAMI/CAT, CLUSTER INFO/MYID — all of which Redis shows
Redis sets skip_monitor on the whole EVAL family …and feeds all of it anyway

So the rule is stated explicitly in src/monitor/ and pinned row-by-row against the measured
oracle by mon20. That test is the regression guard: a future flag change cannot silently
start leaking CONFIG SET or start hiding INFO.

A monitor that stops reading has its connection dropped. Silently skipping lines would
leave an operator unable to tell a quiet server from a lossy feed; blocking would let one slow
TCP reader stall every shard. (mon21 — a 20,000-command burst against a dead monitor.)

Security

MONITOR reads every other client's arguments, so the attach verb sits below the ACL gate in
both handlers. An intercept above it exempts itself from ACL — the exact shape of the v0.8.6
inline-GET P0.

Credentials are redacted at formatting time, so a secret is never written into a buffer to
be filtered afterwards. A filter is one refactor away from leaking, and the thing it would leak
is a password. mon8/mon9 assert the literal secret appears nowhere in the bytes read,
not merely that (redacted) appears — a formatter emitting both would pass the weak form.

Cost

One relaxed atomic load per command when nobody is attached; the hidden-set check, registry
lookup, formatting and fan-out all live behind it in a #[cold] path.

While a monitor is attached, the inline fast path stands down. It answers straight from the
read buffer and never sees a peer address, so rather than thread an address through the hottest
function in the codebase for a diagnostic feature, the command falls through to the fully-hooked
path. This is correct by construction — a future refactor of the inline path cannot silently
drop the feed, because there is no hook there to forget. The contract named three hook sites;
this is the one deviation, recorded in the task record rather than absorbed silently.
mon13 (the test written for that clause) passes unchanged on --shards 4 for plain GET and
plain SET. Fast-path retention when unattached is confirmed by
moon_dispatch_path_total{path="local_inline"} = 200 over 200 GETs — not inferred from latency.

Lua

Script-issued commands are fed with the literal lua in place of a peer address, in execution
order after the EVAL line. A script command never passes a connection handler, so all three
contracted hook sites structurally cannot see it — without the scripting/bridge.rs hook an
operator watching a script-driven workload sees every EVAL and none of its effects. Found by
re-reading the frozen contract against the build, written red-first (mon22 failed with the
EVAL line present and its effects absent), then fixed.

Every "not fed" test also asserts a following command IS fed — otherwise a broken feed and a
correctly hidden command are indistinguishable.

Known thinness

COMMAND INFO monitor reports a thinner acl_categories array than redis-server, because Moon's
ACL registry has no @admin category bit at all — the same gap already waived for
identity_command_info_known_and_unknown. Waived with a reason in the compat manifest and owned
by sdk-wire-form-fixes. Not a permission hole: +@all -@admin does refuse MONITOR, pinned
by mon14, which also asserts the refused user receives no feed lines afterwards.

… when unattached

`redis-cli monitor` now works against Moon in Redis's exact line format:
`+<unix>.<micros> [<db> <addr>] "CMD" "arg" …`, every token quoted and escaped
per byte (sdscatrepr semantics — `"` `\`, `\n` `\r` `\t`, `\a` `\b`, `\xHH` for
everything outside printable ASCII, so UTF-8 escapes per byte rather than per
character). Measured against redis-server 8.6.1 over raw sockets, because the
feed's bytes ARE the contract and every client library reformats them before a
test could see the difference.

Three behaviours are not the obvious implementation, and each has a test that
fails loudly if someone "fixes" it back:

* The line is a SimpleString under BOTH RESP2 and RESP3 — not a Push frame. The
  reflex straight after the RESP3 pub/sub work is to make it a Push; Redis does
  not, and a client reading the feed expects `+`.
* Administrative commands are hidden at SUBCOMMAND granularity, and the rule is
  NOT `CommandFlags::ADMIN | SKIP_MONITOR`. Both terms measured wrong: Moon's
  ADMIN is container-granular and would have hidden six commands Redis shows
  (INFO, DBSIZE, CLIENT GETNAME/ID, ACL WHOAMI/CAT, CLUSTER INFO/MYID), and
  Redis feeds the entire EVAL family despite flagging it skip_monitor. The rule
  is stated explicitly in src/monitor/ and pinned row-by-row against the
  measured oracle, so a future flag change cannot silently start leaking
  CONFIG SET or start hiding INFO.
* A monitor that stops reading has its CONNECTION DROPPED. Silently skipping
  lines would leave an operator unable to tell a quiet server from a lossy feed;
  blocking would let one slow TCP reader stall every shard.

Security. MONITOR reads every other client's arguments, so the attach verb sits
BELOW the ACL gate in both handlers — an intercept above it exempts itself from
ACL, which is the exact shape of the v0.8.6 inline-GET P0. AUTH's arguments and
the credentials in `HELLO … AUTH` are replaced at FORMATTING time, so a secret
is never written into a buffer to be filtered afterwards; a filter is one
refactor away from leaking, and the thing it would leak is a password. The tests
assert the literal secret appears nowhere in the bytes read, not merely that
"(redacted)" appears.

Cost. One relaxed atomic load per command when nobody is attached; the
hidden-set check, registry lookup, formatting and fan-out all live behind it in
a #[cold] path. While a monitor IS attached the inline fast path stands down:
it answers straight from the read buffer and never sees a peer address, so
rather than thread an address through the hottest function in the codebase for a
diagnostic feature, the command falls through to the fully-hooked path. That is
correct by construction — a future refactor of the inline path cannot silently
drop the feed, because there is no hook there to forget. Fast-path retention
when unattached is confirmed by moon_dispatch_path_total{path="local_inline"},
not inferred from latency.

Commands issued by a Lua script are fed with the literal `lua` in place of a
peer address, in execution order after the EVAL line, matching Redis. A script
command never passes a connection handler, so it needs its own hook in
scripting/bridge.rs; without it an operator watching a script-driven workload
would see every EVAL and none of its effects.

Tests: 22 integration (raw sockets) + 6 unit, green under BOTH runtimes —
monoio, the shipped default, and tokio. mon13 covers the inline path on
--shards 4; mon20 drives the measured admin table row by row; mon21 proves a
20,000-command burst against a dead monitor neither stalls the publisher nor
leaves the monitor half-alive. Every "not fed" test also asserts a FOLLOWING
command IS fed, so a broken feed cannot pass as correct hiding.

Known thinness, waived with a reason in the compat manifest and owned by
sdk-wire-form-fixes: Moon's ACL registry has no @admin category BIT, so
COMMAND INFO reports a thinner acl_categories array than redis-server for every
admin command. Not a permission hole — `+@ALL -@admin` does refuse MONITOR,
pinned by mon14.

The PR defines and registers Redis-compatible MONITOR behavior, including ACL rules, command metadata, wire formatting, filtering, and compatibility checks.
Feed formatting and registry
src/monitor/mod.rs
The monitor subsystem adds command visibility filtering, byte escaping, credential redaction, timestamped output, subscriber management, fan-out, backpressure removal, and an unattached fast path.
Connection attachment and command flow
src/server/conn/core.rs, src/server/conn/monitor_mode.rs, src/server/conn/handler_monoio/*, src/server/conn/handler_sharded/mod.rs, src/server/conn/shared.rs
Both runtimes attach monitor connections through bounded channels, feed commands before dispatch, deliver feed lines, reject keyspace commands, disable inline dispatch while attached, and detach during reset or cleanup.
Lua integration and end-to-end validation
src/scripting/bridge.rs, tests/monitor_command_feed.rs
Lua commands enter the feed in execution order. Integration tests cover framing, visibility, redaction, transactions, escaping, permissions, lifecycle, backpressure, inline dispatch, and scripting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c3c18

This change adds command monitoring, but unresolved permission, connection-lifecycle, and delivery-path defects can deny authorized users, strand or leak monitor connections, and delay other client notifications. The PR is not merge-ready until the major correctness and availability issues are fixed.

Poll for the expected line instead of sleeping.

feed() sleeps 120 ms, then drain() waits for a 600 ms read timeout. Every feed assertion is therefore timing-dependent, and 22 server spawns pay both delays. A helper that reads until a predicate matches or a deadline expires removes the flake window and shortens the suite.

Add monitor to the @all expansion.

get_category_commands("all") does not include monitor. A user granted +@all will therefore still fail the ACL check for MONITOR, even without -@admin.

…t AUTH, and four teardown gaps

Review of #484 found five real defects. Each is fixed red-first and pinned by a
test that fails on the previous binary.

1. The keyspace-refusal rule was wrong, and permissively so.

   §3 said "keyspace command"; the implementation read that as `first_key != 0`.
   Re-measured against redis-server 8.6.1 (one fresh connection per probe — a
   shared socket desynchronises against the interleaved feed and gave two wrong
   readings on the first pass): DBSIZE, KEYS, SCAN, RANDOMKEY, FLUSHALL,
   FLUSHDB, SWAPDB, EVAL, EVALSHA, PUBLISH, SPUBLISH and MEMORY USAGE all carry
   `first_key == 0` and are ALL refused by Redis. A monitor connection could run
   `FLUSHALL` and `KEYS *`.

   The obvious repair — Redis's own WRITE|READONLY flag pair — is also wrong:
   Moon flags PING, ECHO, TIME, INFO, COMMAND, LASTSAVE and WAIT as READONLY and
   Redis flags none of them so, so that rule refuses PING on a monitor
   connection. This is the same trap as CommandFlags::ADMIN in the hidden-set,
   hit a second time in the same task: Moon's flags are named after Redis's and
   do not mean the same thing. The rule is now explicit and measured, matching
   is_hidden's shape, and pinned row by row by mon23.

   A unit test had asserted DBSIZE was SERVED, with a comment claiming it was
   measured. It never had been. That wrong belief encoded as a test is what let
   the wrong rule ship green; the test is corrected and the row it got wrong is
   now its own regression guard.

2. The first AUTH of a session was never fed — on both runtimes.

   Both handlers gate on `!conn.authenticated` above the ACL-exempt intercepts
   and `continue` out of it, so the feed hook below never saw the one AUTH that
   actually carries a credential. mon8/mon9 passed because they run against a
   server with no password, where that gate is already satisfied — a redaction
   test that never exercises an authenticating connection tests the wrong path.
   Fed inside the gate itself; mon24/mon25 run against --requirepass.

3. Connection migration bypassed every MONITOR teardown path.

   `migration_eligible()` excluded MULTI, cross-txn, subscribers, tracking and
   replconf, but not monitors. Migration returns from the handler through its own
   path, before the disconnect detach block, so a migrated monitor left a dead
   sink registered forever — which also pins `any_attached()` true and holds the
   inline fast path down for the life of the process.

4. A rejected attach left the connection half-attached: marked attached with the
   receiver dropped, so keyspace commands were refused, no reply was sent, no
   feed line arrived, and nothing could detect it. It now evicts the stale
   registration and re-attaches, or fails loudly.

5. mon21's closed-connection assertion was vacuous. `after.is_empty() || …` is
   satisfied by an empty drain — i.e. by exactly the starved-but-open connection
   the backpressure policy exists to prevent. It now asserts end-of-stream.

Also in this round:

* The sharded MONITOR block was a hand-written second copy of the attach rule
  and had already drifted in structure — the failure mode monitor_mode's own doc
  comment warns about. Both handlers now call one helper.
* The feed's fan-out took a process-global RwLock read on every emitted command,
  against the "per-shard locks only, no global lock on the write path" rule. The
  read path is now an ArcSwap load with no lock at all; attach and detach publish
  copy-on-write under a Mutex the command path never touches.
* mon26 added: `+@all` grants MONITOR. Review flagged the @ALL expansion as a
  defect; it is not one (Moon's @ALL is a wildcard, not the category name list),
  and mon26 is what proved it. mon14 alone could not have — a `-@admin` refusal
  test passes just as well when no grant reaches MONITOR at all.

Tests: 27 integration + 6 unit, green under BOTH runtimes. lib 4620 monoio /
3786 tokio. Regressions green: pubsub_resp3_push 21, multi_exec_queue_semantics
12, watch_cas_transactions 10, protocol_error_lifetime 8, info_observability 13,
functions_fcall 9, replication_readonly_eval 1. clippy --all-targets clean on
both feature legs; client-compat differ PASS=201 FAIL=0. Inline fast path
re-confirmed intact at moon_dispatch_path_total{path="local_inline"} = 200.
