enricobuehler bda5556d37 feat(web): harden login gate — throttle, scoped TLS, token-derived seal key
Remediates the two web-console residuals from the 2026-07-05 posture audit:

- Brute-force throttle (loginThrottle.ts): per-IP exponential backoff
  after 5 free attempts, plus a global floor for spread-out floods, keyed
  on the socket peer IP (not spoofable X-Forwarded-For) with a size-capped
  map. The constant-time compare already stopped the timing leak; this
  bounds guess *volume* against a by-design LAN-exposed console.
- Session seal key now derives from the high-entropy mgmt token instead of
  the low-entropy login password, so a captured cookie is no longer an
  offline password oracle. Falls back to the password only when no token
  is configured (dev/local). Rotating the token now invalidates sessions.
- Replace the process-wide NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 with per-request
  Bun TLS scoped to the loopback proxy hop; a non-loopback mgmt URL now
  verifies normally. Dropped the env var from the systemd unit, Steam Deck
  installer, Windows run scripts, env examples, and web README.

// The management token never reaches the browser: server/routes/api/[...].ts injects it
// server-side when proxying to the loopback management API.

* from it turns any captured session cookie into an OFFLINE dictionary oracle — an attacker unseals
* candidate cookies locally, no server round-trips, so the login throttle can't help. The mgmt token
* is unguessable, so a cookie sealed under it leaks nothing about the password. (Deriving from the
* token instead of the password also means changing the password no longer silently invalidates
