finnandClaude Opus 5.5 dc85c578a2 Protect against login CSRF without cookies for anonymous users
Anonymous users must not get cookies or session store entries, so a
CSRF token for /login is not possible. Instead, every unsafe request is
checked statelessly via Sec-Fetch-Site, falling back to Origin. Requests
without both headers are not from a browser and are accepted. The
expected origin comes from the new MAX_ORIGIN setting, which is required
outside of debug mode.

Further CSRF changes:
- Do not delete the CSRF token on a failed check. It added no security,
  but invalidated forms in open tabs and could be triggered cross-site.
- Treat HEAD and OPTIONS as safe methods.

Keep the login page free of sessions:
- Show login messages via ?msg=login_required|logout (fixed keys only)
  and the login error via the template context instead of flash().
- Only send the session deletion cookie if the client sent a cookie.
