claude 94c273780a webauthn: lock the challenge maps and take a challenge once (V-581)
The RP kept its two in-flight challenge maps bare, and mavweb serves the four
passkey endpoints from HTTP handlers. Two browsers beginning a challenge at once
were a concurrent map write, which is a fatal runtime error rather than a
recovered panic, so it takes the daemon down. The endpoint that reaches it
answers before any credential is proven.

Every read and write of regs and asserts is now under a mutex. Lookup and delete
moved into takeReg and takeAssert so they happen under one hold, which is what
makes a challenge single-use: separately, two replays of the same response both
found it before either deleted it.

The challenge in clientDataJSON is compared in constant time. It is the one
secret in that blob, 32 bytes of crypto/rand the browser has to echo back, and a
byte-at-a-time compare is the shape that leaks a guessed prefix.

Also corrected the comment over ipc.codeOf, which claimed an unmatched error
keeps its text server-side. rpcErr ships that text deliberately, and on a tcp
seam it leaves the box.
