feat(security): implement safe guest auth flow and harden request_jwt

- Patched request_jwt to strip privileged IDs when signing with public keys
- Updated AccountContext and V3 dependencies to preserve JWT payloads for guests
- Whitelisted Archive, Post, Event, and other core objects for public read access
- Added 'default_qry_str' to Event searchable fields
- Added test_e2e_jwt_guest_auth.py for security verification
