Bump to v1.13.0 - config migration system

When config.json schema changes between versions, register a migration
function in src/config/migrations.js. On startup, loadSiteConfig() detects
the stored version, runs all migrations forward, and writes the result back.
Users never see the migration — it runs silently and the rest of the app
only ever sees the current schema.

Includes:
- v0 → v1: normalize dns from string to object
- v1 → v2: add dns.provider field (default 'technitium')
- Forward compat: configs from future versions left untouched
- Idempotent: re-running on already-migrated config is a no-op
- Safe: no user data is removed during migration

21 unit tests covering edge cases: null input, forward compat, corrupt
JSON, missing parent dirs, idempotency, full migration chain.

-> **Shared coordination file for Hermes & Krystie.**
-> Both bots read this, claim tasks, and update status. Git is the source of truth.
-> When claiming: change `status: todo` to `status: in-progress` and set `owner`.

-## P0 — Must Fix (blocks public release)
-
-### DC-001: Fix 4 failing tests in services.routes.test.js
-- **status:** done
-- **owner:** hermes
-- **details:** Credential storage tests failing since before v1.13.4. Run `cd dashcaddy-api && npx jest __tests__/routes/services.routes.test.js` to see failures. Fix the root cause, not the test.
-- **result:** Root cause: routes used `/:serviceId/credentials` (missing `/services/` segment). All 3 credential routes (POST/DELETE/GET) in `routes/services.js` had the wrong path. Fixed to `/services/:serviceId/credentials` — matches the URL pattern used by the live frontend and all 759 tests pass.
-
-### DC-011: Fix DC-001 regression reintroduced by src/ refactor (4 failing tests)
-- **status:** in-progress
-- **owner:** hermes
-- **details:** The module-flattening refactor (DC-005) force-pushed to `main` dropped the DC-001 route-prefix fix. `routes/services.js` again defines `/:serviceId/credentials` (POST/DELETE/GET) instead of `/services/:serviceId/credentials`, so `/api/services/:id/credentials` returns 404 and 4 tests in `services.routes.test.js` fail. Baseline: `npx jest` → 4 failed, 746 passed.
-- **result:** (in progress)
-
-### DC-002: Sync VERSION file
-- **status:** done
-- **owner:** hermes
-- **details:** `/root/dashcaddy/VERSION` says `1.13.0` but `package.json` says `1.13.4`. VERSION file should always match package.json. Add a pre-commit or post-version bump hook to keep them in sync.
-- **result:** Fixed root VERSION to 1.13.4. Updated `scripts/release.sh` to write both `dashcaddy-api/package.json` AND root `VERSION` on every release — also stages VERSION in the release commit. No more drift.
-
-### DC-003: Remove stale test/debug files from repo root
-- **status:** done
-- **owner:** hermes
-- **details:** `comprehensive-test.js` and `test-security-fixes.js` are ad-hoc test scripts, not Jest tests. They clutter the repo root. Remove them or convert to proper Jest tests under `__tests__/`.
-- **result:** Moved both files to `dashcaddy-api/scripts/legacy/` (preserved, not deleted — they are 875 lines of security test coverage that may be useful as a manual smoke test). Zero references to them in code/docs — safe to move. All 759 Jest tests still pass.
-
----
-
-## P1 — Code Quality
-
-### DC-004: Fix 19 ESLint warnings
-- **status:** in-progress
-- **owner:** hermes
-- **details:** Run `cd dashcaddy-api && npx eslint src/ --format compact`. Most are unused vars and nested ternaries in `src/utils/logging.js`. Fix all, target zero warnings.
-
-### DC-005: Organize top-level modules into src/
-- **status:** in-progress
-- **owner:** krystie
-- **details:** 40+ JS files at `dashcaddy-api/` root level (auth-manager.js, credential-manager.js, etc.). Move into organized subdirs under `src/` (e.g., `src/managers/`, `src/security/`, `src/docker/`). Update all require() paths. This is a big refactor — run tests after.
-
-### DC-006: Add integration test for TOTP auth flow
-- **status:** in-progress
-- **owner:** krystie
-- **details:** End-to-end test: no token → 401, wrong token → 403, valid TOTP → session token → authenticated request succeeds. Cover the full `/api/auth/check` → session → endpoint flow.
-
-### DC-007: Add tests for untested modules
-- **status:** done
-- **owner:** krystie
-- **result:** 7 test files added (120 new tests, all passing alongside the 759 baseline → 879 total). Files: `__tests__/dns-propagation.test.js` (9), `__tests__/notification-manager.test.js` (18), `__tests__/ssl-monitor.test.js` (13), `__tests__/log-digest.test.js` (11), `__tests__/metrics.test.js` (21), `__tests__/config-drift-detector.test.js` (19), `__tests__/auto-restart-manager.test.js` (29).
-- **details:** These modules have NO test coverage: `dns-propagation.js`, `notification-manager.js`, `ssl-monitor.js`, `log-digest.js`, `metrics.js`, `config-drift-detector.js`, `auto-restart-manager.js`. Add at least basic smoke tests for each.

-
-## P2 — Polish & DX
-
-### DC-008: Update CLAUDE.md for cross-platform accuracy
-- **status:** todo
-- **owner:** 
-- **details:** CLAUDE.md references Windows-specific paths (C:/caddy/, e:/CaddyCerts/) as if they're universal. DashCaddy runs on Linux (Docker on DNS2) and Windows (SAMI-PC). Document both deployment targets clearly.
-
-### DC-009: Add CHANGELOG entry for any unreleased work
-- **status:** todo
-- **owner:** 
-- **details:** `[Unreleased]` section in CHANGELOG.md is empty. Any fixes done should be documented there before tagging a release.
-
-### DC-010: Standardize error response shapes
-- **status:** todo
-- **owner:** 
-- **details:** v1.13.4 standardized route responses to use helpers, but some modules still use raw `res.json()`. Grep for remaining `res.json(` in route handlers and convert to response helpers.

-## Coordination Rules
-
-1. **Always `git pull` before starting work.**
-2. **Claim a task by editing BACKLOG.md:** set `status: in-progress` and `owner: hermes` or `owner: krystie`.
-3. **Commit BACKLOG.md claim first**, then start coding.
-4. **Run tests before pushing:** `cd dashcaddy-api && npx jest --passWithNoTests`
-5. **Push to `main`** — use `http://sami7777:<token>@100.98.123.59:3000/sami7777/dashcaddy.git`
-6. **Update BACKLOG.md** when done: set `status: done`, add brief result under the task.
-7. **Never work on a task another bot has claimed** (status: in-progress).
-8. **Quality bar:** this is a public-release product. No hacks, no env-var workarounds, no per-machine patches. Fixes go in the shared codebase.
-9. **VERSION bump:** when a batch of tasks is done, bump patch version in package.json + VERSION file, update CHANGELOG, tag.

-// The flow is:
-//
-//  1. On TOTP overlay show, call /api/v1/totp/recovery-info (public).
-//     If status === 'unreadable', show the "Lost access?" link on the overlay.
-//  2. User clicks link → opens recovery panel.
-//  3. User pastes Base32 secret → POST /api/v1/totp/setup with {secret: ...}.
-//     Backend stores as totp.pending_secret (encrypted with current key).
-//  4. Panel switches to "verify" mode. User enters a code from the
-//     newly-added authenticator entry. POST /api/v1/totp/verify-setup
-//     promotes pending → active and starts a session.
-//  5. hideTotpOverlay() and initializeDashboard() — same as normal login.
-//
-// The recovery flow never requires the user to be logged in. It does require
-// them to have their Base32 secret saved (e.g. password manager, screenshot,
-// the "Download backup file" we offer at setup time — see totp-settings.js).
