Establishes the Principal behind a request.
Contract:
- no credentials present → return
null(the caller is anonymous); - credentials present but invalid → throw
UnauthorizedException(fail-closed); - credentials present and valid → return the Principal.
The hub runs the authenticator early in the pipeline and attaches the result
to HubRequest.principal, so auth-dependent routing and authorization see
it.
