fix(security): add missing HTTP security headers across all surfaces (#549)

[dolho]

Summary

Closes #549. UnderDefense pentest 3.4.2 flagged Trinity for missing the standard HTTP security header set. Production nginx already had most via security-headers.conf; the gap was on three surfaces this PR addresses.

Changes

Surface	Before	After
FastAPI middleware (src/backend/main.py)	4 headers (X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy)	+ X-Frame-Options DENY, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy same-origin, conditional HSTS (gated on X-Forwarded-Proto: https or request.url.scheme == "https")
Vite dev server (src/frontend/vite.config.js)	Zero security headers — npm run dev served the SPA with nothing	New configureServer plugin mirrors prod with dev-only 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' on script-src for Vite HMR
Production nginx (security-headers.conf + nginx.conf)	8 headers, HSTS deliberately absent (comment said "ops should add at LB")	HSTS now emitted via map $http_x_forwarded_proto $hsts_header — fires only when upstream TLS terminator signals HTTPS, nginx skips emission on plain HTTP

Design choices

• CSP NOT set on FastAPI responses — /api/* returns JSON, not rendered HTML. A strict CSP on JSON is meaningless and would block legitimate Swagger UI script execution from the docs route.
• HSTS gated on actual HTTPS — emitting HSTS over HTTP is misleading (browsers ignore per RFC 6797) and can pin a stale policy. Both the FastAPI middleware and the nginx map check the upstream X-Forwarded-Proto so it works whether uvicorn is direct-facing (--proxy-headers) or behind cloudflare/traefik/external-LB.
• HSTS NOT set in Vite dev — would force the dev box's hostname to HTTPS in the browser HSTS cache and break subsequent HTTP work on the same port.
• X-Frame-Options DENY for FastAPI (API responses should never be iframed); SAMEORIGIN preserved for the SPA (could legitimately be embedded in same-origin contexts).
• Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy still omitted everywhere — require-corp would break future cross-origin resources and no SharedArrayBuffer use case justifies the cost. Existing comment in security-headers.conf documents this intentional choice.
• Server: uvicorn already suppressed via --no-server-header flag in both Dockerfile CMD and docker-compose.yml command. No change needed.

Tests

tests/test_security_headers.py extended (now 5 tests, all pass against the live local stack):

./.venv/bin/pytest tests/test_security_headers.py -v
# 5 passed in 0.38s

• existing: test_api_response_has_security_headers extended with X-Frame-Options + COOP assertions
• existing: test_server_header_stripped
• existing: test_cors_preflight_still_works
• new: test_hsts_absent_on_plain_http
• new: test_hsts_set_when_x_forwarded_proto_https

Manual verification

# FastAPI middleware
curl -sI http://localhost:8000/health | grep -iE "frame|origin|cont|ref|perm|hsts"
# 7 headers, no HSTS (correct — HTTP)

curl -sI -H "X-Forwarded-Proto: https" http://localhost:8000/health | grep -i hsts
# strict-transport-security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

# Vite dev server
curl -sI http://localhost:8001 | grep -iE "frame|origin|cont|ref|perm|csp"
# 8 headers including dev CSP

# nginx config syntax (lints inside the trinity-agent-network so upstream resolves)
docker run --rm --network trinity-agent-network \
  -v "./src/frontend/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro" \
  -v "./src/frontend/security-headers.conf:/etc/nginx/security-headers.conf:ro" \
  nginx:alpine nginx -t
# nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

UI smoke (Vite dev frontend at http://localhost:8001) loaded without console errors after restart. Production CSP unchanged from current shipping config — only HSTS added.

Acceptance criteria

• All standard security headers added to nginx config (already mostly there; HSTS the gap)
• Equivalent headers added to FastAPI middleware for non-nginx-fronted deployments and direct API access
• Equivalent headers added to Vite dev server so devs catch CSP regressions before prod
• Server header stripped (already via --no-server-header; verified)
• Headers present in curl -I output on backend, Vite dev, and nginx (verified)
• CSP allows the Vue.js frontend to function (existing prod CSP unchanged; dev CSP relaxed for HMR per Vite expectation)
• HSTS only applied when traffic is HTTPS (gated on X-Forwarded-Proto in both FastAPI and nginx)
