Better-Auth v1.5.6 stores raw tokens in sessions.token, not SHA-256
hashes. The session cookie is signed (rawToken.hmacSignature), so
strip the HMAC signature suffix before querying the DB.
Fixes 401 errors on all data endpoints caused by the incorrect hash.

Restores sha256 import and token hashing in _validate_session_token.
Regression introduced when PR #95 (cookie name fix) was merged without
the hash fix from PR #93.

Better-Auth automatically prefixes cookie names with __Secure- when serving
over HTTPS. The API gateway now tries __Secure-better-auth.session_token
first (HTTPS/deployed), falling back to better-auth.session_token (HTTP/local dev).
Fixes CAR-321.

Better-Auth v1.5.6+ stores session tokens as SHA-256 hashes in the
sessions table. The raw token from the cookie was being queried directly,
causing all authenticated /api/v1/* requests to return 401.
Fixes CAR-313.

Replace hand-rolled JWT auth with Better-Auth session-based authentication.
- Scaffold auth/ Node.js service with Better-Auth, bcrypt password compat,
Postgres adapter mapped to existing users table
- Add Alembic migration (002) creating sessions, accounts, verifications
tables and migrating password hashes to accounts table
- Update FastAPI auth dependency to validate sessions via shared DB
(supports both cookie and Bearer token)
- Remove registration/login/refresh endpoints from API gateway (now
handled by Better-Auth service)
- Update frontend to use better-auth/react client with httpOnly cookies
(no tokens in localStorage or memory)
- Rewrite auth store, Login, Register, Dashboard, Settings, ProtectedRoute
to use session-based auth
- Update all tests to create sessions directly in DB instead of JWT tokens
Resolves CAR-27
