feat(rate-limiting): Implement core rate limiting functionality with configuration, decision-making, metrics, middleware, and service registration

- Add RateLimitConfig for configuration management with YAML binding support. - Introduce RateLimitDecision to encapsulate the result of rate limit checks. - Implement RateLimitMetrics for OpenTelemetry metrics tracking. - Create RateLimitMiddleware for enforcing rate limits on incoming requests. - Develop RateLimitService to orchestrate instance and environment rate limit checks. - Add RateLimitServiceCollectionExtensions for dependency injection registration.

+# Proof Chain Benchmark Suite
+
+This benchmark suite measures performance of proof chain operations as specified in the Proof and Evidence Chain Technical Reference advisory.
+
+## Overview
+
+The benchmarks focus on critical performance paths:
+
+1. **Content-Addressed ID Generation** - SHA-256 hashing and ID formatting
+2. **Proof Spine Assembly** - Merkle tree construction and deterministic bundling
+3. **Verification Pipeline** - End-to-end verification flow
+4. **Key Rotation Operations** - Trust anchor lookups and key validation
+
+## Running Benchmarks
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10 SDK
+- PostgreSQL 16+ (for database benchmarks)
+- BenchmarkDotNet 0.14+
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run all benchmarks
+cd bench/proof-chain
+dotnet run -c Release
+
+# Run specific benchmark class
+dotnet run -c Release -- --filter *IdGeneration*
+
+# Export results
+dotnet run -c Release -- --exporters json markdown
+```
+
+## Benchmark Categories
+
+### 1. ID Generation Benchmarks
+
+```csharp
+[MemoryDiagnoser]
+public class IdGenerationBenchmarks
+{
+    [Benchmark(Baseline = true)]
+    public string GenerateEvidenceId_Small() => GenerateEvidenceId(SmallPayload);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public string GenerateEvidenceId_Medium() => GenerateEvidenceId(MediumPayload);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public string GenerateEvidenceId_Large() => GenerateEvidenceId(LargePayload);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public string GenerateProofBundleId() => GenerateProofBundleId(TestBundle);
+}
+```
+
+**Target Metrics:**
+- Evidence ID generation: < 50μs for 10KB payload
+- Proof Bundle ID generation: < 500μs for typical bundle
+- Memory allocation: < 1KB per ID generation
+
+### 2. Proof Spine Assembly Benchmarks
+
+```csharp
+[MemoryDiagnoser]
+public class ProofSpineAssemblyBenchmarks
+{
+    [Params(1, 5, 10, 50)]
+    public int EvidenceCount { get; set; }
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public ProofBundle AssembleSpine() => Assembler.AssembleSpine(
+        Evidence.Take(EvidenceCount),
+        Reasoning,
+        VexVerdict);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public byte[] MerkleTreeConstruction() => BuildMerkleTree(Leaves);
+}
+```
+
+**Target Metrics:**
+- Spine assembly (5 evidence items): < 5ms
+- Merkle tree (100 leaves): < 1ms
+- Deterministic output: 100% reproducibility
+
+### 3. Verification Pipeline Benchmarks
+
+```csharp
+[MemoryDiagnoser]
+public class VerificationPipelineBenchmarks
+{
+    [Benchmark]
+    public VerificationResult VerifySpineSignatures() => Pipeline.VerifyDsse(Bundle);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public VerificationResult VerifyIdRecomputation() => Pipeline.VerifyIds(Bundle);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public VerificationResult VerifyRekorInclusion() => Pipeline.VerifyRekor(Bundle);
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public VerificationResult FullVerification() => Pipeline.VerifyAsync(Bundle).Result;
+}
+```
+
+**Target Metrics:**
+- DSSE signature verification: < 5ms per envelope
+- ID recomputation: < 2ms per bundle
+- Rekor verification (cached): < 10ms
+- Full pipeline: < 50ms typical
+
+### 4. Key Rotation Benchmarks
+
+```csharp
+[MemoryDiagnoser]
+public class KeyRotationBenchmarks
+{
+    [Benchmark]
+    public TrustAnchor FindAnchorByPurl() => Manager.FindAnchorForPurlAsync(Purl).Result;
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public KeyValidity CheckKeyValidity() => Service.CheckKeyValidityAsync(AnchorId, KeyId, SignedAt).Result;
+
+    [Benchmark]
+    public IReadOnlyList<Warning> GetRotationWarnings() => Service.GetRotationWarningsAsync(AnchorId).Result;
+}
+```
+
+**Target Metrics:**
+- PURL pattern matching: < 100μs per lookup
+- Key validity check: < 500μs (cached)
+- Rotation warnings: < 2ms (10 active keys)
+

+
+*Baseline measured on: Intel i7-12700, 32GB RAM, NVMe SSD, .NET 10.0-preview.7*
+
+## Regression Detection
+
+Benchmarks are run as part of CI with regression detection:
+
+```yaml
+# .gitea/workflows/benchmark.yaml
+name: Benchmark
+on:
+  pull_request:
+    paths:
+      - 'src/Attestor/**'
+      - 'src/Signer/**'
+
+jobs:
+  benchmark:
+    runs-on: self-hosted
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Run benchmarks
+        run: |
+          cd bench/proof-chain
+          dotnet run -c Release -- --exporters json
+      - name: Compare with baseline
+        run: |
+          python3 tools/compare-benchmarks.py \
+            --baseline baselines/proof-chain.json \
+            --current BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts/results/*.json \
+            --threshold 10
+```
+
+Regressions > 10% will fail the PR check.
+
+## Adding New Benchmarks
+
+1. Create benchmark class in `bench/proof-chain/Benchmarks/`
+2. Follow naming convention: `{Feature}Benchmarks.cs`
+3. Add `[MemoryDiagnoser]` attribute for allocation tracking
+4. Include baseline expectations in XML comments
+5. Update baseline after significant changes:
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run -c Release -- --exporters json
+   cp BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts/results/*.json baselines/
+   ```
+
+## Performance Guidelines
+
+From advisory §14.1:
+
+| Operation | P50 Target | P99 Target |
+|-----------|------------|------------|
+| Proof Bundle creation | 50ms | 200ms |
+| Proof Bundle verification | 100ms | 500ms |
+| SBOM verification (complete) | 500ms | 2s |
+| Key validity check | 1ms | 5ms |
