Rate Limits per Endpoint (Cost-Aware)

[Cedarich]

Complexity Score: 150

Description

Apply stricter limits on high-cost endpoints (OCR, verification) while keeping health/docs unthrottled.

Requirements

• Configure route-specific limits.
• Ensure limits are compatible with multi-instance deployments (avoid purely in-memory state).
• Add tests for limit exhaustion and reset behavior.
