feat(security):complete — security hardening and provenance

- api/middleware/rate_limiter.py: sliding window per IP per endpoint class
Limits: /search 100/min, /investigate 30/min, /export 10/min, /admin 5/min
Returns HTTP 429 with Retry-After header. IP stored as SHA-256 hash (privacy)
- api/middleware/security_headers.py: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, nosniff,
Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy on every response
- api/middleware/input_validator.py: max 200 chars, Cypher injection detection,
Indian script Unicode range allowlist for multilingual queries
- api/middleware/audit_logger.py: append-only JSONL audit log with SHA-256
hash chain. Each entry includes hash of previous entry for tamper detection
- blockchain/audit_chain.py: compute_daily_root() builds Merkle-style daily
root hash from all entries. store_root_hash() anchors it in Neo4j AuditRoot
node. verify_chain() confirms chain integrity end-to-end
- api/main.py: all 4 middleware registered in correct order
