feat(gdpr): HttpOnly author-token cookie (PR3 of #6701) (#7548)
* docs: PR3 GDPR anonymous identity hardening design spec

* docs: PR3 GDPR anon identity implementation plan

* feat(gdpr): ensureAuthorTokenCookie helper — HttpOnly server-set author token

* feat(gdpr): set HttpOnly author-token cookie from the pad routes

* feat(gdpr): read author token from cookie first, keep message.token fallback

* feat(gdpr): stop generating the author token client-side

* test(gdpr): server sets + reuses the HttpOnly author-token cookie

* fix+test(gdpr): parse token cookie from handshake Cookie header

socket.io handshake doesn't run cookie-parser, so socket.request.cookies
is undefined. Parse the Cookie header directly in handleClientReady so
the HttpOnly token actually resolves. Playwright spec covers HttpOnly
attribute, reload-stability, and context-isolation.

* docs(gdpr): token cookie is now HttpOnly + server-set

* fix(gdpr): close two HttpOnly token bypasses

Qodo review:
- Timeslider still ran the pre-PR3 JS-cookie path: it read
  Cookies.get('${cp}token') (which HttpOnly hides), then generated a
  fresh plaintext token and overwrote the server's HttpOnly cookie with
  it, and sent token in every socket message. Strip the token read/
  write entirely from timeslider.ts and from the outgoing message
  shape; the server reads the cookie off the socket.io handshake just
  like on /p/:pad.
- tokenTransfer re-issued the author cookie without HttpOnly, undoing
  the hardening the first time a user transferred a session. Re-set
  it as HttpOnly + Secure (on HTTPS) + SameSite=Lax. Also stop
  trusting the body-supplied token on POST: read it off req.cookies
  server-side so the client never needs JS access to the token.
