Feature: User authentication with API keys #49

Description

@sajeetharan

Summary

Add a user authentication system so developers can claim their profile and connect IDE extensions.

Details

  • Sign in via GitHub OAuth (and optionally Google/X)
  • Generate a personal API key from profile settings
  • API key used by IDE extensions to authenticate heartbeats
  • Key management: regenerate, revoke
  • Secure storage: keys hashed server-side, displayed only once on creation

Why

Authentication is the foundation for all real-time features. Without it, we can't link IDE activity to developer profiles on the globe.
