fix(security): resolve 7 findings from full-repo code review

- Create web/middleware.ts to authenticate all API routes via bearer token
  and origin checks (previously unauthenticated due to missing middleware file)

- Fix path traversal in browse-directories: replace startsWith with
  realpathSync + relative + isAbsolute containment checks

- Fix XSS in session HTML export: escape raw HTML blocks via marked renderer

- Fix PTY process leak: destroy session on SSE stream cancellation

- Fix unhandled exception in terminal sessions POST: wrap getOrCreateSession
  in try/catch with structured JSON error response

- Fix silent child-process failure in headless dispatch: add exit handler
  to write failed claim when sf headless triage exits non-zero

- Fix TypeError on malformed claim JSON: add Array.isArray guard before
  accessing claim.ids.length

All changes type-check cleanly.
