fix(api): verification engine modules, security hardening, new packages

[chrismaz11]

Summary

Cherry-picked the salvageable commits from #84 (cm/restore-api-runtime-deps) which had irreconcilable conflicts due to architectural divergence:

• fix(auth): Accept canonical TrustSignal API key in production — security.ts hardening + security config tests
• fix(api): Restore runtime verification modules — adds localVerificationEngine, adapterService, engine/types, registry/catalog, and two new packages (engine-internal, public-contracts) with receipt, signature, and ZKP types

The third commit from that branch (d31c8ec — type regression fix) was skipped because it references artifact receipt imports that don't exist in the current server.ts architecture.

Closes #84

Test plan

• API builds and typechecks cleanly
• Security config tests pass
• Verification engine modules are importable
