Review follow-up on #1324 (Codex, 4xP2):
- Parallel-reset race: under the workspace `fullyParallel` preset the new
auth file ran concurrently with stalker.e2e.ts against one shared mock
process, and each `beforeEach` wiped global state (sessions, favorites)
mid-assertion in the other. Reproduced locally: both suites green in
isolation, two failures when run together. Merged the auth tests into
stalker.e2e.ts and pinned the file to `mode: 'serial'`, which also
removes the pre-existing race between that file's own tests. 19/19
green across three consecutive runs.
- Watchdog was recorded but never asserted, so the suite would stay green
if the full-portal workflow stopped pinging or dropped its token —
`sendWatchdogPing` swallows failures. Now polls for an authenticated
`get_events`.
- Both mock servers listened on every interface (stalker: `listen(PORT)`
with no host; xtream: an explicit `0.0.0.0` default), which made the
CodeQL exclusion's "binds to localhost" rationale untrue. Both now
default to `127.0.0.1` with a `HOST` opt-in, and the config comment
states plainly what the directory-wide ignore trades away.
- Documented that the login-required scenario is HTTP-level only for now:
the client's `do_auth` path is dormant and sends empty credentials, so
the fixture is waiting on that client-side work rather than claiming
end-to-end coverage.

Two genuine defects in the code this PR added:
- readBearerToken's /Bearer\s+(.*)$/ backtracks polynomially on
"bearer" followed by a long run of spaces; require the token to start
with a non-space character instead
- the /stalker proxy route read query params as strings without
narrowing, so a repeated key (?url=a&url=b) arrives as an array and
String.prototype.includes silently changes meaning
The remaining three alerts (missing rate limiting x2, sensitive data in
a GET query) are web-service hygiene rules aimed at internet-facing
services. The mock servers bind to localhost, serve fabricated data,
ship in no artifact, and deliberately mirror the real backend proxy's
token-in-query contract; a rate limiter would break the E2E suite that
hammers them. Exclude only those two apps from analysis via a documented
CodeQL config; every shipped path keeps full coverage.
