🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Integer overflow in token bucket refill logic.
🎯 Impact: Rate limiter could stop refilling or behave erratically (DoS) under specific conditions (high rates + time jump).
πŸ”§ Fix: Used safe long arithmetic and explicit bounds checking against capacity.
βœ… Verification: Added OverflowTest to simulate the overflow condition and verify correct refill behavior.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 2345874656259823656 started by @SpaceLeam

Refactored `TokenBucketLimiter` to use `long` arithmetic for token calculations and added explicit capacity saturation checks. This prevents integer overflow when:
1. `periodsElapsed * refillTokens` exceeds `Long.MAX_VALUE` (handled by capacity check).
2. `current + tokensToAdd` exceeds `Integer.MAX_VALUE` (handled by `long` addition before clamping).

This fixes a potential Denial of Service (DoS) where the limiter could stop refilling or corrupt its state after significant time jumps or with high-throughput configurations.

Verified with `OverflowTest`.
