fix(ingestion): close the PR #152 review findings on REST auth

- main.go's wiring was untested (the test built its own copy of the
  router, so dropping auth in main or re-registering POST /query as
  public stayed green). Routing is now one function, buildMux, which
  main calls and the tests call: it constructs the bearer middleware
  itself, registers public handlers only for patterns on a fixed
  allowlist (a public REST pattern would beat the authenticated
  catch-all by specificity), refuses an empty token, and returns an
  http.Handler so nothing can add a route to the result.
- hyperguild CLI: PassRate sent no token and would 401. Every request
  now goes through brainClient.do, which adds it; the test covers
  Query, Write and PassRate and is named for that.
- ResolveIngestPath returns one refusal for every bad path; the raw
  EvalSymlinks error let a caller probe which server files exist and
  leaked the brain directory.
- PROJECT.md (and derived adapters) and the pass-rate runbook state
  that the REST API needs BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN and is tailnet/in-cluster.
