chore: initial commit of Go API gateway
Baseline for the Kong replacement on api.riotpiao.com. Brings the working
tree under version control for the first time: gateway source, the task
board that drives the agent runs, test fixtures, and K8s manifests.

Anchor the gateway ignore rule to the repo root. Unanchored, "gateway"
also matched the cmd/gateway/ source directory, so the program entrypoint
was excluded from every commit.

4.3 — RFC 9457 problem+json rejections (RED)

Phase: 4 — Limits and budgets Stage: RED

Every rejection the gateway generates itself must be a machine-readable problem document. Upstream responses are passed through untouched — this covers only errors the gateway originates.

  • Every gateway-originated rejection responds with Content-Type: application/problem+json
  • The body carries at minimum type, title, status, and detail, and status equals the HTTP status line
  • type is a stable, distinct URI per rejection reason, so a client can branch on it without parsing prose
  • detail is human-useful and names the offending input where one exists
  • Retry-After is set whenever a retry time is knowable — queue full, budget exhausted, upstream saturated
  • Retry-After is absent when no retry will help — unknown model, malformed body, oversized body
  • No token, credential, header value, or request body content appears in any field
  • A rejection is emitted as a structured log line carrying the same reason identifier used in type

Tests come first and must fail because the shape does not exist yet, not because a route is missing.
