Kpa-clawbot 7179afcfde feat(#1228): reject geo-implausible neighbor-graph edges at build time (#1230)
Fixes #1228 — geo-implausible neighbor-graph edges are rejected at build
time.

Red commit: `5a6d9660` — failing tests for 4 cases (reject SF↔Berlin,
accept local CA, accept no-GPS endpoint, counter increments). Live CI
run (latest commit):

## Why

The disambiguator's tier-1 affinity graph is built blindly from path
co-occurrence. On wide-geo MQTT deployments, a single bad hop
disambiguation seeds an edge across geographically impossible distances
(e.g. Bay Area ↔ Berlin), which then reinforces the same wrong
resolution next time. Self-poisoning spiral.

## What changed

- `upsertEdge` now consults a per-graph GPS index. When **both**
endpoints have known GPS and their haversine distance exceeds the
threshold, the edge is dropped and `NeighborGraph.RejectedEdgesGeoFar`
(atomic) is incremented.
- Either endpoint missing GPS ⇒ accept (no signal to reject), per
acceptance criteria.
- Threshold is configurable via `neighborGraph.maxEdgeKm` (default **500
km** — well above any plausible terrestrial LoRa hop, including
satellite-assisted). 0 ⇒ use default; negative ⇒ disable the filter.
Exposed via `Config.NeighborMaxEdgeKm()`.
- New `BuildFromStoreWithOptions` carrying the threshold;
`BuildFromStore` and `BuildFromStoreWithLog` are kept as thin wrappers.
- Stats are surfaced under `GET /api/analytics/neighbor-graph` as
`stats.rejected_edges_geo_far`.
- All rejection logs PII-truncate pubkeys to 8 hex chars (public repo
discipline).
- `config.example.json` updated with the new field + comment.

## Follow-up

#1229 (per-region scoped affinity graphs) depends on this landing first.
