Remediate PEN-01 through PEN-07 (pentest round 4)

- PEN-01: fix extractBearerFromRequest to validate Bearer prefix
  using strings.SplitN + EqualFold; add TestExtractBearerFromRequest
- PEN-02: security headers confirmed present after redeploy (live
  probe 2026-03-15)
- PEN-03: accepted — Swagger UI self-hosting disproportionate to risk
- PEN-04: accepted — OpenAPI spec intentionally public
- PEN-05: accepted — gRPC port 9443 intentionally public
- PEN-06: remove RecordLoginFailure from REST TOTP-missing branch
  to match gRPC handler (DEF-08); add
  TestTOTPMissingDoesNotIncrementLockout
- PEN-07: accepted — per-account hard lockout covers the same threat
- Update AUDIT.md: all 7 PEN findings resolved (4 fixed, 3 accepted)

Security: PEN-01 removed a defence-in-depth gap where any 8+ char
Authorization value was accepted as a Bearer token. PEN-06 closed an
account-lockout-via-omission attack vector on TOTP-enrolled accounts.

**Fix:** `RecordLoginFailure` removed from the TOTP-missing branch in `internal/server/server.go`. The branch now matches the gRPC handler exactly, including the rationale comment. `TestTOTPMissingDoesNotIncrementLockout` verifies the fix: it fully enrolls TOTP via the HTTP API, sets `LockoutThreshold=1`, issues a TOTP-missing login, and asserts the account is not locked.
