chore: trigger CI

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

+## Google Gemini (OAuth)
+
+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.
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=gemini_oauth
+GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash

+### Supported features
+
+| Feature | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Function calling | ✅ | `functionDeclarations` / `functionCall` / `functionResponse` |
+| `generationConfig` | ✅ | `temperature`, `maxOutputTokens` passed from request |
+| `thinkingConfig` | ✅ | `thinkingBudget`/`thinkingLevel` for thinking-capable models (does NOT set `includeThoughts`) |
+| `toolConfig` | ✅ | `functionCallingConfig.mode`: `AUTO`/`ANY`/`NONE` |
+| SSE streaming | ✅ | Cloud Code API with `streamGenerateContent?alt=sse` |
+| Token refresh | ✅ | Automatic via refresh token |

+### 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`).
