refactor: extract magic numbers to named constants

Create Server/api/constants.go (26 constants) and Server/auth/constants.go
(6 constants) for rate limits, timeouts, size limits, and token generation.
Replace all inline magic numbers with descriptive names across 9 source files.
No behavior changes — same values, just named for contributor readability.
