fix(security): close confirmed findings from the 2026-10-15 hunt (#166)

Seven findings are fixed. Each fix has a regression test.

- Compare X-Forwarded-Host and the serving host case-insensitively, so a
  case variant cannot widen the session cookie Domain.
- Reject a future iat on the opaque introspection path.
- Serve the cached parsed JWKS inside the signature-refresh cooldown.
- Release the half-open circuit slot when a probe panics.
- Cap requests that wait for provider initialisation at 512. Extra
  requests receive 503 with Retry-After.
- Cap cookie deletion headers at 32 cookie names per response.
- Cap front-channel sid markers at 1000, so unauthenticated requests
  cannot evict backchannel or jti replay markers.
