jcoffey-dev cd8aa290ca Phase 1: Windows log collection + full-text search
Extends the agent, ingest, storage, api, and web with Windows Event
Log/ETW sourcing and Tantivy-backed free-text search, per the approved
Phase 1 plan.

- CLAUDE.md: materialized on disk (never existed as a file before) with
  a new Phase 1 "done looks like" section.
- agent: Windows Event Log (EvtSubscribe) and ETW sources, Windows
  service wrapper (install/uninstall/run-service), both feature- and
  target_os-gated so Linux builds/tests/clippy stay unaffected. Also
  fixed two pre-existing Phase 0 clippy gaps (dead-code on
  default-features-only builds, a type-inference edge case) found while
  testing every feature combination properly for the first time.
  UNVERIFIED on real Windows -- no Windows toolchain existed anywhere in
  the build environment; flagged prominently in three places.
- proto/ingest: new record_id field, assigned once server-side in
  ingest's gRPC front end so ClickHouse and Tantivy agree on the same ID
  for the same record.
- storage: record_id column + bloom filter index, verified against a
  live ClickHouse.
- search: new service, Tantivy index, rskafka consumer as an independent
  second consumer group on the same Redpanda topic ingest already reads.
- api/web: new /search endpoint and page, sharing the query page's
  result-table shape and component.
- hack/windows-fixture: sends realistic Windows-shaped data straight to
  ingest, so the pipeline's handling of it is verifiable without a
  Windows host.

Verified end-to-end on the live docker-compose stack: the same record_id
comes back from both /query and /search for the same log line, including
for windows-fixture's synthetic Windows Event Log data. Real bugs found
and fixed along the way: api/Dockerfile missing proto/ in its build
context, search's logs being completely silent (RUST_LOG gap), and
search/target/ missing from .gitignore/.dockerignore.

windows-fixture

Sends synthetic Windows Event Log-shaped PushBatchRequests directly to ingest's gRPC endpoint, bypassing the actual Windows agent entirely.

What this does and doesn't test

Tests: can the pipeline (ingest → ClickHouse → search → api → web) correctly handle Windows-shaped data — the winevt.* attributes, the record_id join between SQL and full-text search, Windows severity levels mapping onto the right column values? This is exactly what's automatable without a Windows host, and it's genuinely exercised: five realistic, well-known Windows events (failed/successful logon, a service state change, an application crash, an unexpected reboot) with real EventIDs and providers.

Does not test: whether the real Windows agent's EvtSubscribe/ETW integration actually works, whether Windows service registration succeeds, whether ETW session creation/provider enabling works. Those are fundamentally different questions — they need a real or virtualized Windows host, and nothing here pretends otherwise. See /docs/phase-1-runbook.md for exactly which is which.

Running

Requires the docker-compose stack up (ingest reachable, dev certs generated):

cd hack/windows-fixture
go run . --count 5
sent 5 synthetic Windows-shaped records, ingest accepted 5
  [SEVERITY_WARN] An account failed to log on. (event_id=4625 provider=Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing)
  ...

Then confirm both query paths see it:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/query -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"sql": "SELECT host, severity, message, attributes['"'"'winevt.event_id'"'"'] AS event_id FROM logs WHERE host = '"'"'WIN-FIXTURE-01'"'"' ORDER BY timestamp DESC"}'

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/search -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "notepad"}'

Flags: --addr (default localhost:4317), --ca/--cert/--key (default to ../dev-certs/out/{ca,client,client-key}.pem), --count (default 5, cycles through the fixed event list if higher).
