`trigger_depth` bounds how DEEP a trigger/invoke chain runs, but nothing bounded
how WIDE one execution could fan out. A single anonymous request running
`for i in 0..1_000_000 { invoke_async("w", #{}) }` costs a few Rhai ops plus one
cheap outbox INSERT per iteration, so within the op / wall-clock budget it could
write ~10^5 durable rows — each dispatched as its own execution — flooding the
outbox and dispatcher (a durable-amplification DoS).
Add a per-execution ceiling on DURABLE emissions (`invoke_async`,
`pubsub::publish_durable`, `queue::enqueue`, and the shared-topic/-queue
variants), env `PICLOUD_MAX_EMISSIONS_PER_EXECUTION` (default 1000). It's a
thread-local counter wrapped by a re-entrancy-aware `EmissionBudgetScope` around
every `execute_ast`: the OUTERMOST scope resets it, so a fresh dispatched
handler (a new pooled-thread task) gets a full budget while a synchronous
`invoke()` / interceptor re-entry nested in the same call stack SHARES it (fan-
out counted across the whole synchronous chain). The outermost Drop re-zeroes
the counter so a pooled thread never leaks a count into the next task.
Pinned by an `emit_budget` unit test (outermost resets, nested shares, ceiling
trips); the invoke/queue/pubsub/workflow journeys (small counts) stay green.
