Record the confirmed-live results of the group-ring debugging session

A group-owned personal DID is now working end to end against a real
inbound call: it rings every authorized group member simultaneously, first
to answer wins, and members whose own tier/allowed_numbers don't authorize
the caller are correctly skipped.

Updates the code comments that were written before that confirmation
existed (the Busy(15) block's "NOT yet confirmed live", and the group-ring
script's unverified-SHELL() note), and documents all four fixes plus the
"Commit Changes" caveat in the Anveo setup guide's bugs-fixed section so
the next person hitting one-ring-then-busy has the trail.

Also clears the guide's "Still open" section: the 2-number account cap no
longer applies, and the interactive walkthrough it described as unbuilt
was built (_pstn_anveo_walkthrough).

under `setup.sh`'s `set -u` on `source`. Now guarded and falls back to
safe defaults, erroring clearly only if genuinely required fields are
missing.
- **The inbound `[from-pstn-trunk]` context never loaded at all** — it used
to share one `#include`'d file with the outbound dialplan, where the file
continued `[intercom]` first and only declared `[from-pstn-trunk]`
partway through. Asterisk silently failed to load the *entire* file
(outbound patterns included) with no error anywhere, so every inbound
call got "extension not found in context 'from-pstn-trunk'" and an
immediate SIP rejection. Inbound now lives in its own file that starts
with its context header, matching the structure of the messaging
dialplan that always loaded correctly.
- **Every inbound call's Caller-ID arrived as the DID itself**, not the
real caller — the trunk endpoint pinned a static `callerid=<DID>` and
didn't set `trust_id_inbound`, so Asterisk ignored the identity Anveo
actually sends and fell back to that default. Every restricted-tier
`allowed_numbers` check was therefore unwinnable regardless of config.
Fixed by dropping the static default (redundant — the outbound dialplan
sets `CALLERID(num)` on the channel itself) and adding
`trust_id_inbound=yes`.
- **A leading `+` broke whitelist matching** — once the fix above started
surfacing real caller identity, Anveo delivers it `+E.164` style
(`+15551234567`). The normalizer only added a leading `1` to 10-digit
values and never stripped the `+`, so a 12-character value could never
match an 11-digit, digits-only `allowed_numbers` entry no matter how
correctly the number was whitelisted. The `+` is now stripped in the
dialplan, the group-ring script, and the dashboard's admin-input side
(so pasting a number straight from a call log works too).
- **Bare `Hangup()` on inbound denials** instead of `Busy(15)` — three
inbound denial paths didn't produce a proper "486 Busy Here", making a
correct permission denial sound like a generic call failure and
disguising config mismatches as dialplan bugs.
## Dashboard changes may need "Commit Changes"
Confirmed live: edits made in the Security Dashboard's PSTN Trunk tab
(permission tiers, groups, personal-DID owners, limits) are written to disk
immediately, but `AST_CONFIG()` in the dialplan has been observed still
returning the *old* value until the Asterisk container is fully restarted —
a `dialplan reload` / `module reload` is not enough. This contradicts the
"reads fresh on every call, no restart needed" design premise these files
otherwise rely on; root cause not established.
The PSTN Trunk tab has a **Commit Changes (Restart Asterisk)** button for
this, which appears after any save on that tab and warns if you navigate
away with changes uncommitted. Existing calls are unaffected by the
restart. If a change doesn't seem to be taking effect on a test call, press
it before assuming the config itself is wrong.
## Still open
- The 2-phone-number account cap (see step 1) blocks getting all 4
planned numbers until either Anveo lifts it or a tax ID is provided —
tabled for now.
- The interactive CLI walkthrough (`pstn-trunk.sh` actually prompting
through account setup step by step, not just this static doc) hasn't
been built yet — this guide is the reference for building that once
there's appetite for it.
- Nothing blocking. The two items previously listed here are both resolved:
the 2-phone-number account cap no longer applies (additional DIDs have
since been obtained), and the interactive CLI walkthrough was built —
see `_pstn_anveo_walkthrough` in `services/pstn-trunk.sh`, reachable from
the provider quick-pick when you choose Anveo Direct.
