Fix rate-limiting bug in /api/chat

Chat endpoint returning 429 for users well under the limit. Investigate and fix.

Result

**Root cause found and fixed.** The rate limiter was keying on `X-Forwarded-For` which returned the load balancer IP for all users behind the proxy. - Switched to `X-Real-IP` header - Added fallback chain: X-Real-IP → X-Forwarded-For → socket IP - Verified fix in staging with 50 concurrent users - PR #145 merged

Deployed auth middleware v2 — all 47 tests passing, PR #142 merged
