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.

- CSRF: Require CSRF_SECRET in production, throw error on missing secret
- IP Allowlist: TRUST_PROXY must be explicitly set to 'true' for proxy headers
- Rate Limiter: Add proper proxy trust handling for client IP detection
- Login: Add browser form redirect support with safe URL validation
- Add custom admin login page with styled form
- Update CLAUDE.md with TRUST_PROXY documentation
- Update tests for new security behavior
BREAKING: Server will not start in production without CSRF_SECRET or PAYLOAD_SECRET

The Payload Admin Panel sends login credentials as a _payload JSON field
within multipart/form-data, not as separate email/password fields.
This fix adds support for parsing the _payload field while maintaining
backwards compatibility with direct FormData fields and JSON body.

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.

- Extend logLoginFailed to accept ClientInfo directly (not just PayloadRequest)
- Add logPasswordReset function for password reset audit logging
- Remove duplicate manual payload.create calls in login routes
- Implement real fallback in auditAfterForgotPassword with structured JSON log
- Login routes now create single audit entry with full IP/User-Agent context
