fix: address review feedback - security hardening and lint cleanup

- Remove all nolint:gosec annotations from branch, use targeted #nosec
  with explanations only where gosec taint analysis produces false positives
- Remove unused loginRequest struct (was causing G117 + unused lint errors)
- Add SanitizeLogs() for container log output (attacker-controlled data)
- Add validateWebhookURL() helper with scheme validation for SSRF defense
- Add path traversal protection via filepath.Clean/Dir/Base for log paths
- Fix test credential detection by extracting to named constant
- Fix config.go: use filepath.Clean for session secret path
- Fix formatting issues

All make check passes with zero failures.
