fix(auth): persist auto-generated JWT secret to survive restarts (#2933)
* fix(auth): persist auto-generated JWT secret to survive restarts

  When AUTH_JWT_SECRET is not set, the auto-generated secret is now
  written to .deer-flow/.jwt_secret (mode 0600) and reused on subsequent
  starts. This prevents session invalidation on every restart while still
  allowing explicit AUTH_JWT_SECRET in .env to take precedence.
