Jesse Vincent b0fa0f2e36 fix(brainstorm-server): fix auth-integration bugs from full-branch review ...

A second adversarial review of the merged branch found that combining the
session-key auth with the feature work created real bugs the (vacuous) tests
missed:

- [Critical] GET /files/ (empty name) resolved to CONTENT_DIR and crashed the
  process with uncaught EISDIR — newly reachable because the query-stripping
  refactor turns /files/?key=... into /files/. Reject non-regular-file names.
- [High] --open opened a KEYLESS url, which the auth gate 403s — the headline
  feature landed on the error page. Open the keyed url.
- [High] Same-port restart regenerated the token (port persisted, token not), so
  the open tab's old cookie 403'd and never reconnected — contradicting the
  documented promise. Persist the token (BRAINSTORM_TOKEN_FILE / .last-token)
  alongside the port.
- [Medium] Token sat in world-readable server-info/server.log (0644 in /tmp).
  umask 077 in start-server.sh + mode 0600 on server-info/.last-token.
- [Medium] touchActivity() ran before the auth check, so unauthenticated requests
  defeated the idle timeout. Count activity only after authorization.
- [Low] COOKIE_NAME embedded the pre-fallback port; derive it from the actual
  bound port (also prevents a cross-server cookie-jar collision on fallback).

Tests added/strengthened (previously passed vacuously): /files/ no-crash; the
auto-open url carries the key and is reachable (200); restart reuses the same key
not just the port; unauthenticated requests don't reset the idle clock.
Full suite green (ws-protocol 32, helper 12, auth 13, server 29, lifecycle 8,
stop-server 4); restart smoke confirms same port+key and old URL -> 200.
