Praxis CI e39521d51d feat(P01): SLICE-03 operator auth — argon2id + signed cookies + rate limit
- TASK-03-01 server/auth/passwords.py: argon2id via argon2-cffi
  PasswordHasher (t=3, m=64MiB, p=4 — exceeds OWASP). hash/verify/
  needs_rehash; verify returns False on mismatch (uniform 401 path).
- TASK-03-02 server/auth/cookies.py: get_session_middleware_kwargs()
  → Starlette SessionMiddleware (itsdangerous HMAC-SHA256, D-056).
  Cookie praxis_op, httpOnly, SameSite=strict, max_age=28800 (8h).
  PRAXIS_COOKIE_SECURE default true; false logs WARNING (R-AUTH-01).
  G-031 reframe documented: k-anon defense-in-depth is the PRIMARY
  mitigation (sniffed cookie → no PII); secure flag is SECONDARY.
- TASK-03-03 server/auth/rate_limit.py: slowapi Limiter (in-memory,
  D-041), 5/minute per IP on login. reset_login_rate_limit() helper.
- TASK-03-04 server/auth/dependencies.py + models.py: current_operator
  Depends — reads signed-cookie session, fetches operator from PgStore,
  401 on missing/invalid/inactive (clears session), 503 if no Postgres.
  Never trusts the client (D-057).
- TASK-03-05 server/auth/routes.py: APIRouter(prefix=/api/operator)
  with POST /login (rate-limited, rehash-on-login), POST /logout
  (auth-gated, clears session), GET /me (auth-gated, React guard).
- TASK-03-06 tests/test_auth.py: 18 unit tests (mocked PgStore) —
  passwords, cookie config, rate limit, 401/503 cases, login/logout/me,
  rehash-on-login.
- pyproject.toml: added itsdangerous>=2.1 (SessionMiddleware dep).

"""Login rate limiting (TASK-03-03, D-041).
slowapi Limiter with an in-memory backend (single-instance — D-041).
5 login attempts per minute per client IP. On exceed → 429 + Retry-After.
R-AUTH-03 (in-memory counter lost on restart) is an accepted pilot risk
(RESEARCH-v0.4 §2.5) — a restart at most resets the counter, which slightly
widens the brute-force window but does not enable it (argon2id + 5/min is
still the binding control). A hand-rolled counter is the documented
fallback if slowapi is ever removed.
