docs: add reverse proxy security note to login rate limiting section

Add a token-bucket rate limiter (golang.org/x/time/rate) that limits
login attempts per client IP on POST /api/v1/login. Returns 429 Too
Many Requests with a Retry-After header when the limit is exceeded.

Configurable via LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT (requests/sec, default 1) and
LOGIN_RATE_BURST (burst size, default 5). Stale per-IP entries are
automatically cleaned up every 10 minutes.

Only the login endpoint is rate-limited per sneak's instruction —
session creation and registration use hashcash proof-of-work instead.

+
+#### Anonymous Sessions (No Account Required)
+
+The simplest entry point. No registration, no passwords.
 
 - **Session creation**: client sends `POST /api/v1/session` with a desired
   nick → server assigns an **auth token** (64 hex characters of
   cryptographically random bytes) and returns the user ID, nick, and token.
 - The auth token implicitly identifies the client. Clients present it via
   `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
+- Anonymous sessions are ephemeral — when the session expires or the user
+  QUITs, the nick is released and there is no way to reclaim it.
+
+#### Registered Accounts (Optional)
+
+For users who want multi-client access (multiple devices sharing one session):
+
+- **Registration**: client sends `POST /api/v1/register` with a nick and
+  password (minimum 8 characters) → server creates a session with the
+  password hashed via bcrypt, and returns the user ID, nick, and auth token.
+- **Login**: client sends `POST /api/v1/login` with nick and password →
+  server verifies the password against the stored bcrypt hash and creates a
+  new client token for the existing session. This enables multi-client
+  access: logging in from a new device adds a client to the existing session
+  rather than creating a new one, so channel memberships and message queues
+  are shared. Note: login only works while the session still exists — if all
+  clients have logged out or the user has sent QUIT, the session is deleted
+  and the registration is lost.
+- Registered accounts cannot be logged into via `POST /api/v1/session` —
+  that endpoint is for anonymous sessions only.
+- Anonymous sessions (created via `/session`) cannot be logged into via
+  `/login` because they have no password set.

+### Login Rate Limiting
+
+The login endpoint (`POST /api/v1/login`) has per-IP rate limiting to prevent
+brute-force password attacks. This uses a token-bucket algorithm
+(`golang.org/x/time/rate`) with configurable rate and burst.
+
+| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
+|---------------------|---------|-------------|
+| `LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT`  | `1`     | Allowed login attempts per second per IP |
+| `LOGIN_RATE_BURST`  | `5`     | Maximum burst of login attempts per IP |
+
+When the limit is exceeded, the server returns **429 Too Many Requests** with a
+`Retry-After: 1` header. Stale per-IP entries are automatically cleaned up
+every 10 minutes.
+
+> **⚠️ Security: Reverse Proxy Required for Production Use**
+>
+> The rate limiter extracts the client IP by checking the `X-Forwarded-For`
+> header first, then `X-Real-IP`, and finally falling back to the TCP
+> `RemoteAddr`. Both `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Real-IP` are **client-controlled
+> request headers** — any client can set them to arbitrary values.
+>
+> Without a properly configured reverse proxy in front of this server:
+>
+> - An attacker can **bypass rate limiting entirely** by rotating
+>   `X-Forwarded-For` values on each request (each value is treated as a
+>   distinct IP).
+> - An attacker can **deny service to a specific user** by spoofing that user's
+>   IP in the `X-Forwarded-For` header, exhausting their rate limit bucket.
+>
+> **Recommendation:** Always deploy behind a reverse proxy (e.g. nginx, Caddy,
+> Traefik) that strips or overwrites incoming `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Real-IP`
+> headers with the actual client IP. If running without a reverse proxy, be
+> aware that the rate limiting provides no meaningful protection against a
+> targeted attack.
+
+**Why rate limits here but not on session creation?** Session creation is
+protected by hashcash proof-of-work (stateless, no IP tracking needed). Login
+involves bcrypt password verification against a registered account — a
+fundamentally different threat model where an attacker targets a specific
+account. Per-IP rate limiting is appropriate here because the cost of a wrong
+guess is borne by the server (bcrypt), not the client.
