fix(security): name caddy-worker SSO gate events + dead-path visibility (DC-112) [glm-grade=A]

Queue item (g) — same defect class as DC-111 defect 1, different writer:
the caddy access-log tail named every event http.<status>, so forward_auth
gate hits were unanswerable in the unified security event store.

- resolveCaddyAction() mirrors audit-logger ACTION_MAP vocabulary for BOTH
  URI shapes (legacy /api/auth/gate/<id> from Caddyfile line 87, canonical
  /api/v1/... from dashboard JS): auth.credential-injection,
  auth.app-token-issue, auth.sso-exchange (exact-path match, boundary-tested)
- severity escalation now covers the legacy /api/auth/ prefix too
- metadata fidelity: caddy logs headers as ARRAYS — old single-value read
  always produced user_agent:null; added metadata.host (vhost) and
  duration_seconds (caddy logs seconds; duration_ms kept, no consumers)
- dead-path visibility: once-per-process warn when the access log is
  missing. Live discovery: prod store has 45,912 events, 100%
  source_type 'api', ZERO 'caddy' — the container has no /var/log/caddy
  mount, so the worker silently no-ops. Infra wiring queued separately.
- new __tests__/caddy-worker-naming-dc112.test.js: 22 pins (real tail +
  real store, hermetic sinks, both URI shapes, boundary rows, offset
  persistence, once-warn). Full suite 125/2831 green.

Judge: GLM-5.3 cold read round-1 A (deleg_65498358, 3 polish items folded)
+ round-2 A (deleg_eed9dcbf, judge re-ran suite itself).

+/**
+ * DC-112 regression pins — caddy access-log worker event naming.
+ *
+ * Background (found 2026-08-23 while taking queue item (g)):
+ * the caddy tail worker named every event `http.<status>`, including
+ * forward_auth SSO gate hits — the same defect class as DC-111 defect 1
+ * (uniform action names make "who hit the gate?" unanswerable), in a
+ * different writer. Caddy gates call the API with the LEGACY pre-shim
+ * prefix (/api/auth/gate/<id>), dashboard JS with the canonical
+ * /api/v1/... prefix — both must map to the audit logger's ACTION_MAP
+ * vocabulary so both writers use the same names for the same request.
+ *
+ * Also pinned here:
+ *   - severity escalation for denied gate hits (warn, not notice)
+ *   - metadata fidelity: caddy logs headers as ARRAYS — the old
+ *     single-value read always produced user_agent: null
+ *   - metadata.host (which vhost served the request)
+ *   - the dead-path visibility warn: when the configured log path is
+ *     missing, the worker used to be fully silent — in the current DNS2
+ *     container there is no /var/log/caddy mount and no override, so ALL
+ *     caddy-source events were silently absent (store census: 45,912
+ *     events, 100% source_type 'api', zero 'caddy').
+ *
+ * The worker test exercises the REAL worker: a temp access log written
+ * like caddy writes it (JSON lines), a real tail with a short poll
+ * interval, and the real event store pointed at a temp jsonl. No mocks
+ * of the module under test.
