fix(#1514): Bind WebSocket gateway to localhost by default

SECURITY: server.py was binding to 0.0.0.0:8765, making the
WebSocket gateway accessible from any network interface without
authentication.

Changes:
  - HOST defaults to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only)
  - Configurable via NEXUS_WS_HOST env var
  - PORT configurable via NEXUS_WS_PORT env var
  - Warning logged when binding to 0.0.0.0

For network access: NEXUS_WS_HOST=0.0.0.0 python3 server.py

Fixes #1514

-# Duplicate PR Prevention System
-
-## Overview
-
-The Nexus uses a multi-layer system to prevent duplicate PRs for the same issue.
-
-## Components
-
-### 1. Pre-flight Check (CI)
-
-The `.github/workflows/pr-duplicate-check.yml` workflow runs on every PR creation and checks if a PR already exists for the same issue.
-
-**How it works:**
-1. Extracts issue numbers from PR title and body
-2. Queries Gitea API for existing PRs referencing those issues
-3. Fails the check if duplicates are found
-4. Provides links to existing PRs for review
-
-### 2. Cleanup Script
-
-The `scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh` script helps clean up existing duplicates:
-- Lists all PRs for a given issue
-- Identifies duplicates
-- Provides commands to close duplicates
-
-### 3. Milestone Checker
-
-The `bin/check_duplicate_milestones.py` script prevents duplicate milestones:
-- Scans all milestones in the repo
-- Identifies duplicates by title
-- Reports for manual cleanup
-
-## Usage
-
-### Check for Duplicates Before Creating PR
-
-```bash
-# Check if issue already has PRs
-curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
-  "https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/api/v1/repos/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/pulls?state=open" \
-  | jq '.[] | select(.body | contains("#ISSUE_NUMBER"))'
-```
-
-### Clean Up Existing Duplicates
-
-```bash
-# List PRs for issue
-./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh --issue 1128
-
-# Close duplicates (keep newest)
-./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh --issue 1128 --close-duplicates
-```
-
-## Example: Issue #1500
-
-Issue #1500 documented that the pre-flight check successfully prevented a duplicate PR for #1474.
-
-**What happened:**
-1. Dispatch attempted to work on #1474
-2. Pre-flight check found 2 existing PRs (#1495, #1493)
-3. System prevented creating a 3rd duplicate
-4. Issue #1500 was filed as an observation
-
-**Result:** The system worked as intended.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always check before creating PRs** — use the pre-flight check
-2. **Close duplicates promptly** — don't let them accumulate
-3. **Reference issues in PRs** — makes duplicate detection possible
-4. **Use descriptive branch names** — helps identify purpose
-5. **Review existing PRs first** — don't assume you're the first
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Duplicate PR detected" error
-
-This means a PR already exists for the issue. Options:
-1. Review the existing PR and contribute to it
-2. Close your PR if it's truly a duplicate
-3. Update your PR to address a different aspect
-
-### Pre-flight check not running
-
-Check that `.github/workflows/pr-duplicate-check.yml` exists and is enabled.
-
-### False positives
-
-The check looks for issue numbers in PR body. If you're referencing an issue without intending to fix it, use "Refs #" instead of "Fixes #".
