fix(security): resolve CodeQL alerts #37-52

HIGH:
- #46: Fix regex injection in addressbook.ts - escape all user-defined
  patterns before RegExp construction (literal matching only)
- #47-50: Add sensitiveRateLimiter to mutating routes in accounts.ts
  (PATCH /order, PATCH /:id, DELETE /:id, POST /:id/recalculate-balance)
- #51: Add sensitiveRateLimiter to GET /payment-provider-rules in
  addressbook.ts

MEDIUM:
- #52: Strengthen import-worker.ts postMessage handler with
  event.isTrusted check and explicit same-origin documentation

WARNING:
- #37-38: Remove always-false 'now > periodEnd' condition in
  analytics.ts and data-service.ts (guarded by isPastPeriod early return)
- #39-40: Extract test logic into helper function to avoid
  tautological literal comparisons in onboarding.test.ts
- #41-44: Confirmed false positives - IntersectionObserver constructor
  correctly accepts (callback, options?) per Web API spec
