Address Gadfly review on #4: TOCTOU, sliding cookie, CSRF, argon2
Build image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 5s

Fixes from the PR #23 adversarial review (graded 35 real / 1 false positive):

Security / correctness
- Race-free registration: is_admin and the registration gate are now
  computed atomically inside a single INSERT...SELECT, so concurrent
  first registrations can't both become admin or bypass closed
  registration (fixed the whole TOCTOU cluster).
- Sliding session now reaches the browser: ResolveSession returns the
  current expiry and requireAuth re-sets the cookie, so active users
  aren't logged out 30 days after login regardless of activity.
- Login CSRF: csrfGuard rejects state-changing requests whose Origin
  doesn't match PANSY_BASE_URL (no-op when unset, so the dev proxy is
  unaffected). SameSite=Lax alone didn't cover this.
- argon2id tuned to RFC 9106's second recommended profile (t=3).
- Timing equalizer can't fail open: the dummy hash is derived
  deterministically (fixed salt, no RNG) so it's always present.
- Password length (<=1024) enforced in the service for both register
  and login, not just HTTP binding tags; login rejects over-long input
  before spending argon2 work.

Error handling / robustness
- Login logs a malformed stored hash instead of silently treating it as
  a wrong password.
- Best-effort session writes (Touch/Delete during renewal, expiry, and
  corrupt-expiry cleanup) now log on failure.
- index sessions.expires_at via new migration 0002 (0001 is immutable).

Maintainability
- Extract startSessionAndRespond and abortUnauthenticated; make
  writeServiceError a free function; consistent error handling in
  decodeHash; doc/comment fixes.

Tests: over-long password, CSRF guard (cross-origin/same-origin/dev
no-op), and cookie refresh on authenticated requests; migration-version
assertions bumped to 2.
