test: replace implementation-detail tests with behavior-focused tests

- remote-store: rewrite "remaining store methods" suite — was checking HTTP
  methods and URL paths, now checks what data the caller receives back
- sse: replace writeHead/call-count assertions with content assertions
  ("client receives the data") instead of "write() was called N times"
- sse: "does not broadcast to other slugs" now checks the other client
  did NOT receive the data, not that write() was called exactly once
- queries: remove requireItem/requireVersion/bumpVersion tests — these are
  internal helpers already exercised through LocalStore's public API;
  testing them directly couples tests to the implementation structure
- auth: remove generateApiKey length test — encodes randomBytes(24) byte
  count as an assertion, testing implementation not the key format contract
