chore: trigger CI

fix: address review findings — token hashing, broadcast scoping, error handling
Security fixes: - Hash tokens with SHA-256 at construction time so authentication compares fixed-size 32-byte digests, eliminating length-oracle timing leaks - Scope auth SSE broadcasts per-user in chat_auth_token_handler — AuthRequired/AuthCompleted events were leaking across tenants - Propagate DB errors in restart handlers instead of silently swallowing via `if let Ok(Some(...))` pattern Code quality: - Log SSE serialization failures instead of silently producing empty strings via unwrap_or_default() - Remove dead `pub type AuthState = MultiAuthState` alias - Replace `.unwrap()` with `Arc::clone(db)` in app.rs multi-tenant workspace setup (db is guaranteed Some in context, but unwrap violates project convention) - Fix telegram setup test to inject UserIdentity into request extensions (handler now requires AuthenticatedUser) - Add safety comments on test-only expect/unwrap calls for CI - Apply cargo fmt to fix pre-existing formatting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>

+Uses Google OAuth with PKCE (S256) for authentication — no API key required.
+On first run, a browser opens for Google account login. Credentials (including
+refresh token) are saved to `~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json` with `0600` permissions.

+
+### Cloud Code API vs standard API
+
+Models containing `-preview` (with hyphen) or `gemini-3` in the name, as well
+as any `gemini-` model with major version >= 2, route through the Cloud Code
+API (`cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`) which supports SSE streaming
+and project-scoped access. Other models use the standard Generative Language
+API (`generativelanguage.googleapis.com`).
