fix: address all medium and low code review findings

Medium fixes:
- M01: JWT secret uses lazy getter (no hardcoded fallback at import time)
- M02: Task list query uses ORDER BY createdAt DESC
- M03: Database indexes on tasks(status, requesterId, assigneeId),
       escrow_transactions(taskId, status), challenges(publicKey, used)
- M04: Webhook delivery has 5s fetch timeout via AbortController
- M05: verifyAuditChain defaults to limit 1000
- M06: Task PATCH explicitly picks allowed fields
- M07: Agent update response strips webhookSecret
- M08: MCP endpoint validates JSON-RPC body structure
- M09: agents/match endpoint uses rateLimitStrict
- M10: TaskListQuerySchema validates status against TASK_STATUS enum
- M11: Worker cleans up expired/used challenges every 10 min
- M12: BigInt.toJSON monkey-patch documented with comment

Low fixes:
- L01: Removed duplicate agent card route from agents.ts
- L02: Rate limit headers set after next() in Redis path
- L03: Matching weights extracted to named constants
- L04: Dockerfile comment explains why TS source is in prod image
- L05: Global 50MB request body size limit middleware
- L06: Worker cleans up read messages older than 7 days hourly
