fix(auth): make login route fail-safe with lazy-loaded security modules

Refactor custom login route to be more resilient:
- Lazy-load security modules to prevent initialization errors
- Wrap each security feature in try-catch for graceful degradation
- Skip CSRF validation for API requests (no Origin header + JSON content)
- Improve error handling and logging throughout

This ensures login works even if individual security modules fail,
while still providing full protection when everything is available.
