Surface ASN info and use it for source attribution when a PTR is absent (#715)

* Surface ASN info and fall back to it when a PTR is absent

Adds three new fields to every IP source record — ``asn`` (integer,
e.g. 15169), ``asn_name`` (``"Google LLC"``), ``asn_domain``
(``"google.com"``) — sourced from the bundled IPinfo Lite MMDB. These
flow through to CSV, JSON, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Splunk
outputs as ``source_asn``, ``source_asn_name``, ``source_asn_domain``.

More importantly: when an IP has no reverse DNS (common for many
large senders), source attribution now falls back to the ASN domain
as a lookup key into the same ``reverse_dns_map``. Thanks to #712
and #714, ~85% of routed IPv4 space now has an ``as_domain`` that
hits the map, so rows that were previously unattributable now get a
``source_name``/``source_type`` derived from the ASN. When the ASN
domain misses the map, the raw AS name is used as ``source_name``
with ``source_type`` left null — still better than nothing.

Crucially, ``source_reverse_dns`` and ``source_base_domain`` remain
null on ASN-derived rows, so downstream consumers can still tell a
PTR-resolved attribution apart from an ASN-derived one.

ASN is stored as an integer at the schema level (Elasticsearch /
OpenSearch mappings use ``Integer``) so consumers can do range
queries and numeric sorts; dashboards can prepend ``AS`` at display
time. The MMDB reader normalizes both IPinfo's ``"AS15169"`` string
and MaxMind's ``autonomous_system_number`` int to the same int form.

Also fixes a pre-existing caching bug in ``get_ip_address_info``:
entries without reverse DNS were never written to the IP-info cache,
so every no-PTR IP re-did the MMDB read and DNS attempt on every
call. The cache write is now unconditional.

* Bump to 9.9.0 and document the ASN fallback work

Updates the changelog with a 9.9.0 entry covering the ASN-domain
aliases (#712, #714), map-maintenance tooling fixes (#713), and the
ASN-fallback source attribution added in this branch.

Extends AGENTS.md to explain that ``base_reverse_dns_map.csv`` is now
a mixed-namespace map (rDNS bases alongside ASN domains) and adds a
short recipe for finding high-value ASN-domain misses against the
bundled MMDB, so future contributors know where the map's second
lookup path comes from.

* Document project conventions previously held only in agent memory

Promotes four conventions out of per-agent memory and into AGENTS.md
so every contributor — human or agent — works from the same baseline:

- Run ruff check + format before committing (Code Style).
- Store natively numeric values as numbers, not pre-formatted strings
  (e.g. ASN as int 15169, not "AS15169"; ES/OS mappings as Integer)
  (Code Style).
- Before rewriting a tracked list/data file from freshly-generated
  content, verify the existing content via git — these files
  accumulate manually-curated entries across sessions (Editing tracked
  data files).
- A release isn't done until hatch-built sdist + wheel are attached to
  the GitHub release page; full 8-step sequence documented (Releases).

## Editing tracked data files
Before rewriting a tracked list/data file from freshly-generated content (anything under `parsedmarc/resources/maps/`, CSVs, `.txt` lists), check the existing file first — `git show HEAD:<path> | wc -l`, `git log -1 -- <path>`, `git diff --stat`. Files like `known_unknown_base_reverse_dns.txt` and `base_reverse_dns_map.csv` accumulate manually-curated entries across many sessions, and a "fresh" regeneration that drops the row count is almost certainly destroying prior work. If the new content is meant to *add* rather than *replace*, use a merge/append pattern. Treat any unexpected row-count drop in the pending diff as a red flag.
## Releases
A release isn't done until built artifacts are attached to the GitHub release page. Full sequence:
1. Bump version in `parsedmarc/constants.py`; update `CHANGELOG.md` with a new section under the new version number.
2. Commit on a feature branch, open a PR, merge to master.
3. `git fetch && git checkout master && git pull`.
4. `git tag -a <version> -m "<version>" <sha>` and `git push origin <version>`.
5. `rm -rf dist && hatch build`. Verify `git describe --tags --exact-match` matches the tag.
6. `gh release create <version> --title "<version>" --notes-file <notes>`.
7. `gh release upload <version> dist/parsedmarc-<version>.tar.gz dist/parsedmarc-<version>-py3-none-any.whl`.
8. Confirm `gh release view <version> --json assets` shows both the sdist and the wheel before considering the release complete.
## Maintaining the reverse DNS maps
`parsedmarc/resources/maps/base_reverse_dns_map.csv` maps reverse DNS base domains to a display name and service type. See `parsedmarc/resources/maps/README.md` for the field format and the service_type precedence rules.
`parsedmarc/resources/maps/base_reverse_dns_map.csv` maps a base domain to a display name and service type. The same map is consulted at two points: first with a PTR-derived base domain, and — if the IP has no PTR — with the ASN domain from the bundled IPinfo Lite MMDB (`parsedmarc/resources/ipinfo/ipinfo_lite.mmdb`). See `parsedmarc/resources/maps/README.md` for the field format and the service_type precedence rules.
Because both lookup paths read the same CSV, map keys are a mixed namespace — rDNS-base domains (e.g. `comcast.net`, discovered via `base_reverse_dns.csv`) coexist with ASN domains (e.g. `comcast.com`, discovered via coverage-gap analysis against the MMDB). Entries of both kinds should point to the same `(name, type)` when they describe the same operator — grep before inventing a new display name.

### Checking ASN-domain coverage of the MMDB
Separately from `base_reverse_dns.csv`, the MMDB itself is a source of keys worth mapping. To find ASN domains with high IP weight that don't yet have a map entry, walk every record in `ipinfo_lite.mmdb`, aggregate IPv4 count per `as_domain`, and subtract what's already a map key:
```python
import csv, maxminddb
from collections import defaultdict
keys = set()
with open("parsedmarc/resources/maps/base_reverse_dns_map.csv", newline="", encoding="utf-8") as f:
for row in csv.DictReader(f):
keys.add(row["base_reverse_dns"].strip().lower())
v4 = defaultdict(int); names = {}
for net, rec in maxminddb.open_database("parsedmarc/resources/ipinfo/ipinfo_lite.mmdb"):
if net.version != 4 or not isinstance(rec, dict): continue
d = rec.get("as_domain")
if not d: continue
v4[d.lower()] += net.num_addresses
names[d.lower()] = rec.get("as_name", "")
miss = sorted(((d, v4[d], names[d]) for d in v4 if d not in keys), key=lambda x: -x[1])
for d, c, n in miss[:50]:
print(f"{c:>12,} {d:<30} {n}")
```
Apply the same classification rules above (precedence, naming consistency, skip-if-ambiguous, privacy). Many top misses will be brands already in the map under a different rDNS-base key — the goal there is to alias the ASN domain to the same `(name, type)` so both lookup paths hit. For ASN domains with no obvious brand identity (small resellers, parked ASNs), don't map them — the attribution code falls back to the raw `as_name` from the MMDB, which is better than a guess.
