Merge branch 'main' into fix/1514

- Change WebSocket gateway to bind to 127.0.0.1 by default
- Add authentication for external connections
- Add environment variable configuration
- Add client-side authentication support
- Add security tests (all passing)

Addresses issue #1514: [Security] WebSocket gateway listens on 0.0.0.0

Changes:
1. server.py: Change HOST to 127.0.0.1 by default
2. server.py: Add authentication check for external connections
3. server.py: Add environment variable configuration
4. app.js: Add client-side authentication for external connections
5. tests/test_websocket_security.py: Add security tests

Security improvements:
- Gateway binds to localhost by default
- External connections require authentication token
- Environment variables for configuration
- Client-side authentication support

Tests: All 3 security tests pass
