mroberts 7f5d034a1f feat: auth by default, theme toggle, CoderPad startup, review fixes
- Require a session on every route; public routes opt out with @allow_anonymous
- Split password hashing and pepper loading into passwords.py
- Add a system/light/dark theme toggle backed by light-dark() colors
- Ignore stale 401s from an earlier session, PATCH only changed book fields,
  and block overlapping journal-entry saves
- Add bin/start and CoderPad Vite server settings for the pad's start/restart
- Rewrite README as a mise onboarding guide; expand .gitignore
- Include review-round fixes and tests
