Detailed Description

Runtime state for one limiter key (reused by multiple strategies).

Stores the live state for one limiting dimension (IP / fd / path, etc.). Different algorithms reuse different fields:

• Cooldown / FixedWindow:
  • counter + lastTime
• SlidingWindow:
  • history (timestamp deque)
• TokenBucket:
  • tokens + lastRefill

Note

• violations counts how many times requests were rejected. This is useful for defense escalation (DROP / CLOSE / temporary ban).
• RateState does NOT make decisions. It only stores state.
