[glm-grade=A] feat(api): error-log filter + pagination + distinct-contexts (DC-052)

Backend (dashcaddy-api/routes/errorlogs.js):
- GET /error-logs: server-side filter chain (level, context substring,
  free-text search across error/context/detail/IP, ISO since/until),
  real pagination via limit/offset with hasMore reporting, MAX_LIMIT=500
  clamp, newest-first sort.
- New endpoint GET /error-logs/contexts returns distinct contexts with
  occurrence counts for the frontend dropdown.
- Robust entry parser handles malformed blocks as raw entries so nothing
  silently disappears from the operator's view.
- DELETE /error-logs requires { confirm: 'CLEAR' } body and audits the
  wipe itself (mirrors DC-050 hardening).
- DC-052 fix: removed legacy /audit-logs GET/DELETE handlers that lived
  here before DC-050. errorLogsRoutes is mounted in src/app.js (L733)
  BEFORE auditLogRoutes (L789), so Express router.use() semantics meant
  the legacy proxies shadowed DC-050's hardened versions — DELETE
  without confirm=CLEAR would silently wipe the audit log, and
  /audit-logs/actions was unreachable. The hardened routes/audit-log.js
  is now the single source of truth.

Frontend (status/js/error-logs.js):
- Level / Context / Search / Since / Until filter row mirroring the
  audit-log UI (DC-050).
- Load More pagination with abort-on-filter-change.
- Click-to-expand stack frames in <pre> with scroll-cap.
- Contexts dropdown populated from /error-logs/contexts (refreshes on
  every modal open and after a clear).
- confirm=CLEAR clear with success/error notification.

Tests (__tests__/routes/errorlogs.routes.test.js — 20 cases, all pass):
- Endpoint shape, newest-first, level/context/search/since/until filters,
  invalid-since + unknown-level 400s, pagination + hasMore, MAX_LIMIT
  clamp, /contexts distinct list, confirm=CLEAR gating + audit emission,
  missing-file empty results, malformed entry fallback, /contexts
  missing-file empty, search-by-IP, huge since/until, combined filters.

Full suite: 86 suites / 1910 tests, all green.

GLM judge round 1 (372s, 50 tool calls): grade D — HIGH audit-log
shadowing + MEDIUM coverage gaps + LOW tofu glyph.
GLM judge round 2 (114s, 25 tool calls): grade A — all findings fixed,
no new regressions, ship recommendation: ship.
