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.

Fixes CAR-161 UAT failure: k8s HTTPRoute forwards /api/* to the API
gateway without path rewriting, so requests arrive at FastAPI as
/api/v1/purchases, /api/v1/products, etc. FastAPI previously mounted
data routers at root, causing 404s on all /api/v1/* calls.
Keep health and auth routers at root (probes hit /health directly;
auth traffic is routed to the auth service via HTTPRoute).

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
