The gate's decision procedure was tested directly, but no test drove the Login
RPC that the refusal actually broke: the CLI retries Login in a backoff loop,
so a refused no-op login is what kept a client configured by environment from
ever coming up. The handler-level coverage stopped at the refusal case, which
passes on the pre-fix code too.
This test fails on the pre-fix daemon with "update settings are disabled" and
passes now. Past the gate the handler does real work the test does not stand
up, so it asserts only that the refusal did not happen.
