Rate Limiting Integration:
- Add authLimiter (5 attempts/15min) to both login routes for brute-force protection
- Migrate search endpoints from local checkRateLimit to central searchLimiter
- Add IP blocklist checks to auth and search endpoints
Data Masking Integration:
- Integrate maskObject/maskString from security module into audit-service
- Auto-mask previousValue, newValue, metadata, and descriptions in audit logs
- Use maskError for error logging
Pre-commit Hook:
- Add "prepare" script to package.json for automatic hook installation
- Hook is now installed automatically on pnpm install
Note: CSRF middleware is available but not enforced on API routes since
Payload CMS uses JWT auth and has built-in CORS/CSRF protection in config.

- Add getHeaderValue() helper that works with multiple header formats:
- Express req.get() method
- Fetch API headers.get() method
- Direct IncomingHttpHeaders object access
- Add isRequest() type guard to distinguish PayloadRequest from ClientInfo
- Use extractClientInfo() helper for consistent request/ClientInfo handling
- Apply same fix in auditAuthEvents.ts for hook context
This fixes the issue where PayloadRequest objects were incorrectly
detected as ClientInfo because IncomingHttpHeaders doesn't have .get()
