Add optional login protection for the web UI/API, intended for shared
machines (e.g. AI servers). Dual mode: with no users configured the API
and web UI are open (as before); once at least one user exists, every
/api/* and /ws/* endpoint requires a valid session.
- bcrypt password hashing: passwords stored as $2b$ hashes in
/etc/nvcurve/users.json (0600, root-owned); plaintext never persisted.
- 24-hour sessions: HttpOnly cookie for browsers, Authorization: Bearer
token for CLI/scripts; in-memory, invalidated on server restart.
- Multi-user: multiple named accounts (no shared-password mode).
- New CLI: nvcurve user add|list|remove|set-password (root for mutating
ops; password always prompted, never a CLI argument).
- New endpoints: GET /api/ping (public), /api/auth/status|login|logout|users.
- Web UI: sign-in screen when auth is enabled; status bar shows the
signed-in user with sign-out; expired sessions (401) re-show sign-in.
- Brute-force lockout: 10 failed logins/IP within 5 min -> 15 min lockout.
- New dependency: bcrypt.
Also: LSP config (pyrightconfig.json) pointing at the project .venv, and
small error-handling cleanups in daemon.py/server.py.
