feat(01-03): implement PIN auth routes, JWT HS256 enforcement, and auth tests

- Add auth HTTP handlers (login, me, logout) with proper JSON responses
- Enforce HS256 via jwt.WithValidMethods to prevent algorithm confusion attacks
- Add context helpers for extracting operator ID and role from JWT claims
- Add comprehensive auth test suite (11 unit tests + 6 integration tests)
