/**
 * Rate limiters — anti-brute-force.
 *
 * In-memory store via express-rate-limit's default. Fine for a single Node
 * process. If we ever scale to multiple workers, swap to a shared store
 * (Redis or rate-limit-redis).
 *
 * Friendly 429 response handles HTMX requests (returns HX-Redirect to the
 * form page so the error is shown inline) and full requests (renders a
 * small message page).
