Fix 7 critical security bugs and 1 high-severity data loss bug

- CSRF: HMAC-signed double-submit cookie (server-bound, not raw compare) - Keychain: execFileSync with arg arrays to prevent command injection - Caddy config: always use structured generation, never accept raw config - Templates: replace {{GENERATED_SECRET}} with crypto.randomBytes - Caddyfile removal: move regex inside ctx.caddy.modify() to fix TOCTOU race - Credentials: proper-lockfile for all file operations, fix key rotation to decrypt with old key before generating new key - Service removal: filter by ID only, not AND with appTemplate Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
