Fix auth: add WWW-Authenticate header, middleware on all routes

- Add axum middleware layer for auth on all routes (pages, API, WS,
  static files). Browser now shows native login dialog on 401.
- Return WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="ARZ Web Helper" with 401
- WebSocket auth via ?token= query param (checked in middleware)
- Remove per-handler auth checks — middleware covers everything
- Rewrite auth.rs with Mutex<AuthState> instead of OnceLock<String>
  to support secret regeneration on reset
- Add rgl_auth_reset FFI: clears credentials + regenerates secret
- Fix imgui admin panel: pass admin_state instead of {} to admin_render
- Admin Auth tab: add Disable + Reset buttons
- Fix web ui_page.html: inputs use oninput (no re-render on type),
  collect all input values before POST

 ## High
 
-### Add proper .gitignore
+*No high issues currently.*
-Current `.gitignore` only has `more_modules`. Missing:
-- `rust_core/target/`
-- `*.so`
-- `rgl_data.db`
-- `*.log`
-- `.DS_Store`
-
-### Create build script
-No Makefile or build automation exists. Need a script for:
-- Cross-compile Rust for aarch64-linux-android
-- Deploy .so to device via ADB
-- Optional: rebuild on file change
-
-### Improve Rust error handling
-50+ `unwrap()` calls across Rust codebase. Key areas:
-- `bridge.rs`: mutex locks can panic on poisoning — use `unwrap_or_else()` with recovery
-- `db.rs`: 30+ unwrap/unwrap_or_default — silent failures on DB errors
-- `server.rs`: 15+ unwraps in HTTP handlers
-Should introduce proper error types (thiserror crate) or at minimum `unwrap_or_else()` with logging.
-
-### Silent JSON parse failures in db.rs
-`execute_batch()` returns `"[]"` on JSON parse error without logging. Should log the error for debugging.
 
 ---
 
 ## Medium
 
-### Fix BTC module global state
+*No medium issues currently.*
-`more_modules/btc/init.lua` uses `btc_visible = false` as a global variable (for mimgui OnFrame). Should be moved to a proper module state mechanism to avoid global namespace pollution.
-
-### Implement WebSocket backpressure
-`bridge.rs` broadcast channel has capacity 256. Events are silently dropped when full. Should either increase capacity, add warning logging, or implement backpressure.
-
-### Improve fallback JSON encoder
-`rgl_framework.lua` fallback JSON decoder only handles flat `{"key":"value"}` — fails on nested objects, arrays, numbers, booleans. Since cjson is always expected to be present, consider making it a hard requirement instead of silently degrading.
-
-### Add integration tests
-Only `db.rs` has tests (6 batch operation tests). Missing:
-- Bridge request/response cycle
-- Event system overflow/blocking
-- HTTP handler edge cases
-- Module loading/unloading
-- Win-1251 encoding conversion
-
-### Module loading error handling
-`load_all_modules()` uses `io.popen('ls ...')` which can fail if directory is deleted between listing and loading. Use `pcall(io.open)` instead.
-
-### Add auth/CORS for web API
-Currently any network client can call all APIs. Consider at minimum:
-- Bind to localhost only (or configurable)
-- Basic auth token
-- CORS headers for web clients
 
 ---
 
@@ -76,9 +30,6 @@ No protection against API spam. Could add simple per-endpoint rate limits.
 ### Add request/response logging middleware
 No HTTP access logging in Rust. Add optional access log for debugging API calls.
 
-### Optimize broadcast channel capacity
-Current 256 capacity is arbitrary. Profile actual event rates and set appropriately.
-
 ### Add module versioning
 No way to track which version of a module is loaded. Could add `M.version` field and display in admin panel.
