"""In-memory rate limiter for IP-based request throttling.
Tracks login attempts per IP address and enforces a configurable limit.
Uses a dictionary of deques (per IP) storing timestamps of recent attempts.
Old entries are cleaned up by a background task to prevent unbounded growth.
Process-local implementation — in multi-worker setups, each worker has
independent counters. This constraint limits the blast radius of brute-force
attacks to a single worker.
The penalty strategy for failed login attempts is also managed here:
record_failure() records a failure timestamp and returns the penalty delay
to apply, enabling progressive back-off without exhausting request capacity.
