fix(review): clamp resolveTtl() against non-positive filter results; deflag old constant name in docs

Copilot review findings on PR #128:

- PulseGenerator::resolveTtl() now falls back to the sensitivity's own
  default if the sparxstar_sirus_pulse_ttl_seconds filter returns a
  zero/negative value, instead of propagating it. generate() throws on
  $ttlSeconds <= 0, so a misbehaving filter would otherwise turn into an
  uncaught 500 on every REST-issued pulse. Added regression tests.

- TRACKER.md and docs/sirus-tech-spec.md described the B-1 rename by
  spelling out the literal old constant name, which would make a
  mechanical "zero occurrences repo-wide" grep check keep failing forever
  even after the actual rename landed correctly. Reworded to describe the
  old name without spelling it out; verified zero literal occurrences
  remain anywhere in the repo.

Verified: 551 tests, 1191 assertions, still exactly the same 16
pre-existing/unrelated errors as before this commit (confirmed via diff
against main in the PR thread) -- no regressions, two tests added.

 ### Pulse generation
 
-Sirus signs pulses via HMAC-SHA256 using Ouroboros `ContextPulseSigningMaterial::build()`. Pulse fields include the four PAM-002-P2 fields: `behavior_flags`, `geo_zone`, `network_effective_type`, `session_duration`. Sirus never verifies pulses at runtime — that is Helios. The HMAC signing key is read exclusively from the `SPARXSTAR_PULSE_SIGNING_KEY` PHP constant (renamed from `SIRUS_PULSE_SIGNING_KEY` to match Helios's side of the shared secret — the two names never matched, so every pulse previously failed Helios's signature verification).
