v1.0.0:2 — revert CSP nonces; restore inline-friendly CSP

v1.0.0:1 shipped a per-request nonce-based CSP via Next.js middleware.
In production it produced a blank first paint: Next 14.2.x's bootstrap
inline scripts weren't picking up the nonce reliably from the x-nonce
request header, so the browser blocked them.

This release reverts to the pre-experiment posture:
- middleware.ts back to auth gating only (no nonce, no CSP).
- next.config.js restores the static CSP with `'unsafe-inline'` allowed
  for script-src and style-src. Same headers (HSTS, Referrer-Policy,
  Permissions-Policy, frame-ancestors 'none', etc.) all stay.
- New startos/versions/v1.0.0.2.ts with empty up/down migrations and
  a release note explaining the bug + revert. Promoted to `current`
  in the version graph; v1.0.0:1 moves to `other` so existing
  installs upgrade in place.

No schema changes, no data migration. Existing v1.0.0:1 installs
keep their /data.

Re-attempt path documented in middleware.ts and next.config.js
comments: future PR can revisit nonce CSP using Next's documented
pattern verbatim (notably setting CSP on BOTH request headers and
response headers — we only set it on response).

/**
* Per-request CSP nonce + auth gating.
* Auth gating only.
*
* Nonces drop the previous `'unsafe-inline'` from `script-src`. Next
* 13.4+ automatically picks up the nonce from the `x-nonce` request
* header and stamps it on the bootstrap inline scripts it emits, so
* the in-app code (which doesn't itself emit inline `<script>`) Just
* Works without any layout changes.
* Previously this also generated a per-request nonce and set a strict
* Content-Security-Policy header. That broke first-paint in production
* (Next 14.2.x): the bootstrap inline scripts in SSR'd HTML weren't
* picking up the nonce from `x-nonce` reliably, and the resulting
* CSP-blocked script left a blank page.
*
* `style-src` keeps `'unsafe-inline'` because Tailwind / Next still
* inject critical inline `<style>` blocks. Tightening that requires
* either nonce-stamping styles too (Next doesn't do this automatically)
* or hashing the inline style bodies, both of which are bigger lifts.
* Reverted to: middleware does auth gating, CSP is set statically in
* next.config.js with `'unsafe-inline'` allowed for script + style.
* That's the same posture we shipped successfully through v1.0.0:1's
* first cutover smoke build before this experiment.
*
* The CSP set here REPLACES the static CSP previously in
* next.config.js (a header set by middleware overrides one set in the
* static config for the same key). All other static security headers
* (HSTS, Referrer-Policy, etc.) stay in next.config.js.
* Re-attempt path (later): use Next's documented nonce middleware
* pattern verbatim, including setting the CSP on BOTH request headers
* and response headers (the example in
* https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/content-security-policy
* sets it on both — we only set it on response, which may be the
* miss). Test in a real browser before shipping.
