Scott Idem a9bbb668b5 feat: session auth + per-user/persona UI at /{user}/{persona}
Replaces nginx basic auth with a proper per-user session system:

- auth_utils.py: bcrypt password hashing, JWT cookie creation/decode
- auth_middleware.py: validates JWT cookie on all routes except /login,
  /health, /static/, and webhook endpoints (/channels/, /webhook/)
- routers/ui.py: GET /login, POST /login, POST /logout,
  GET /{username}/{persona} — serves index.html with CORTEX_CONFIG injected
- static/login.html: minimal login form (dark theme, matches UI)
- main.py: registers SessionAuthMiddleware + ui.router
- config.py: jwt_secret, jwt_expire_days settings
- manage_passwords.py: CLI tool to set/check/list user passwords
- app.js: reads window.CORTEX_CONFIG (user + persona), sends both on
  every /chat and /orchestrate request; persona name shown in header;
  logout button (⏏) added to header
- requirements.txt: bcrypt, PyJWT, python-multipart
- .env.default: JWT_SECRET, JWT_EXPIRE_DAYS documented
- tests: client fixture injects JWT cookie; security test assertions
  updated for URL-normalized path traversal paths (still secure, codes differ)

All 80 tests pass.

Setup for a new user:
  python manage_passwords.py set scott
  python manage_passwords.py set holly
