fix(audit): restore named audit actions for SSO gate traffic — 3 live defects (DC-111) [glm-grade=A]

1. audit-logger middleware computed action/resource from req.path INSIDE
   the res.json override — after the /api/v1 router rebased req.url to the
   router-relative path. resolveAction fell through ACTION_MAP for every
   HTTP request, producing 45,899 'unknown.get' entries since 2026-07-14.
   Fix: snapshot req.path/req.method at app-level (post-shim, pre-router).
2. DC-044 shim double-prefixed ALREADY-canonical /api/v1/auth/gate|x
   into /api/v1/v1/... → 401 for canonical-URI clients. Fix: rewrite only
   legacy /api/auth/* shapes; canonical pass through untouched.
3. event-store VALID_OUTCOMES lacked 'failure' → every failed API action's
   security event was rejected+dropped from security-events.jsonl. Fix: add
   'failure' to the vocabulary set.

8 regression pins over a faithful shim→audit→router mount mirror.
Suite: 124 suites / 2809 tests green.

+/**
+ * DC-111 regression pins — audit trail correctness for the SSO gate path.
+ *
+ * THREE live defects found 2026-08-23 by probing the production container
+ * (45,899 'unknown.get' entries in audit-log.json / security-events.jsonl
+ * spanning 2026-07-14 → 2026-08-23, plus failed actions dropped from the
+ * unified security event store):
+ *
+ * 1. audit-logger.middleware() computed action/resource from req.path
+ *    INSIDE the res.json override — i.e. AFTER the /api/v1 router had
+ *    rebased req.url to the router-relative path (/auth/gate/plex).
+ *    resolveAction fell through ACTION_MAP → 'unknown.get' for every
+ *    gate hit over HTTP. DC-028's unit tests passed because they call
+ *    resolveAction() directly with canonical paths and never exercise
+ *    the middleware over HTTP.
+ *
+ * 2. The DC-044 back-compat shim rewrote the ALREADY-canonical
+ *    /api/v1/auth/gate/<id> (and app-token) through '/api/v1' +
+ *    slice(4), producing /api/v1/v1/auth/gate/<id> → 401/404 for every
+ *    canonical-URI client — the exact drift case DC-044 meant to tolerate.
+ *
+ * 3. event-store VALID_OUTCOMES lacked 'failure' (the audit middleware's
+ *    vocabulary for data.success === false), so every failed API action's
+ *    security event was REJECTED and dropped from security-events.jsonl
+ *    ([AuditLogger] Security event emit failed: Invalid event: bad
+ *    outcome: failure — seen live in docker logs).
+ *
+ * These tests exercise a REAL Express app (not the module in isolation):
+ * the app-level DC-044 shim + audit middleware + a /api/v1 router that
+ * mounts the gate route the same way src/app.js does, so the router-rebase
+ * behavior that caused defect 1 is reproduced faithfully.
