Kyle Isom ec7c966ad2 trusted proxy, TOTP replay protection, new tests
- Trusted proxy config option for proxy-aware IP extraction
  used by rate limiting and audit logs; validates proxy IP
  before trusting X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP headers
- TOTP replay protection via counter-based validation to
  reject reused codes within the same time step (±30s)
- RateLimit middleware updated to extract client IP from
  proxy headers without IP spoofing risk
- New tests for ClientIP proxy logic (spoofed headers,
  fallback) and extended rate-limit proxy coverage
- HTMX error banner script integrated into web UI base
- .gitignore updated for mciasdb build artifact

Security: resolves CRIT-01 (TOTP replay attack) and
DEF-03 (proxy-unaware rate limiting); gRPC TOTP
enrollment aligned with REST via StorePendingTOTP

// Package auth implements login, TOTP verification, and credential management.
//
// Security design:
// - All credential comparisons use constant-time operations to resist timing
// side-channels. crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare is used wherever secrets
// are compared.
// - On any login failure the error returned to the caller is always generic
// ("invalid credentials"), regardless of which step failed, to prevent
// user enumeration.
// - TOTP uses a ±1 time-step window (±30s) per RFC 6238 recommendation.
// - PHC string format is used for password hashes, enabling transparent
// parameter upgrades without re-migration.
