fix(auth): eliminate redundant Supabase Auth API calls to prevent rate limiting

Removed duplicate getUser() call in proxy.ts middleware — updateSession() already
validates the token server-side, so the second call was unnecessary. Also replaced
getUser() with getSession() (local cookie read) in OAuth callback, and deleted the
unused legacy lib/supabase/middleware.ts. Cuts auth API calls from 2-3 to 1 per request.
