Ask for a token before spending the card (V-673)

mavgpud reverse-proxied every path to llama-server with no authentication on
a LAN port. Any client on the network could submit model work, hold the model
resident by touching the idle clock, and read /slots, which returns the
prompts of whoever else was using the card.

It now reads a bearer token from token_file and requires it on every request,
/health included: /health reports whether the card is loaded and free, which
is what someone deciding to take it would ask. A listen address reachable
from the network with no token is a startup failure rather than a downgrade
to loopback. homesrv is the client and it is on the LAN, so a loopback
default would look safe and take the model arm down.

Beyond the token: an allowlist of the five paths Maven calls, so a leaked
token buys the model API and not llama-server's admin surface; a body cap and
an in-flight cap on the proxy; and header and idle timeouts on the server.
No read or write timeout — a completion on this card legitimately takes
minutes.

// The boundary in front of the card.
//
// mavgpud has to listen on the LAN, because homesrv is the client and a
// loopback default takes the model arm down. That makes this the one hop on the
// workstation anything on the network could reach, and until 2026-08-11 it
// reverse-proxied every path to llama-server unauthenticated: any client could
// spend the card, hold the model resident by touching the idle clock, and read
// /slots, which carries the prompts of whoever else was using it.
//
// So: a bearer token every request must carry, read from a file, and a path
// allowlist so a token that leaks buys the model API and not the admin one. The
// CW2 transcriber beside this daemon has worked this way since it shipped; this
// is the same arrangement, not a new one.
// readToken loads the bearer token. The file holds the token and nothing else,
// trailing newline allowed. A path that is set and unreadable is fatal to the
// caller: a supervisor that silently ran without its boundary is the failure
// this exists to prevent.
