🟠 High src/ws.ts:3899

A session revoked after authenticateWebSocketUpgrade but before sessionRevoked subscribes remains usable, so the socket continues serving RPCs despite clientRemoved. Because sessions.streamChanges is non-replaying and the intervening connection, analytics, and RPC setup yields, that revocation event is lost; subscribe before accepting the connection and pair it with an authoritative revoked-state check to close the subscribe-to-check race.

Close the authentication-to-subscription gap.

If SessionStore.revoke publishes clientRemoved after upgrade authentication but before Stream.runHead subscribes, the PubSub event is lost. The socket can then keep serving RPCs under the revoked session. Establish the watcher before the session can be used, and check revocation state after subscription so neither side of the handoff can miss it. PubSub delivers messages only to active subscribers.

In `@apps/server/src/ws.ts` around lines 3899 - 3904, Update the
session-revocation watcher around `sessions.streamChanges` and `Stream.runHead`
to subscribe before the authenticated session is used, then check the session’s
revocation state after subscription; ensure a `clientRemoved` event or an
already-revoked session closes the socket so revocation cannot be missed during
handoff.
