fix(website): security hardening from audit

[tomalaforge]

Summary

Implements the fixes from a security + technical audit of the new documentation website:

• Fixes an open redirect in the OAuth safePath helper (backslash-normalization bypass, e.g. ?redirect_uri=/\evil.com).
• Adds security headers and a CSP covering GTM/GA, AdSense, giscus and GitHub media — via Express middleware for SSR responses and vercel.json for CDN-served static/prerendered pages.
• Sanitizes the generated markdown HTML with DOMPurify at build time, since it is injected with bypassSecurityTrustHtml; verified lossless across all 71 generated documents.
• Enables TypeScript strict and strictTemplates (build passes with no errors) and warns when SITE_ORIGIN is unset in production.

Test plan

• ng build green, 72 routes prerendered; smoke-tested the built server: all headers present, redirect bypass attempts land on /, legitimate redirect paths preserved.
• After deploying, watch the console on a page with ads and add any CSP-blocked AdSense origin to security-headers.ts + vercel.json.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The website adds shared security headers for SSR and Vercel responses, hardens OAuth redirect handling, sanitizes generated Markdown HTML with DOMPurify, and enables strict TypeScript and Angular template checks.

Changes

Website security hardening

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Security policy definitions and deployment headers website/src/server/security-headers.ts, website/vercel.json	Defines CSP and standard browser security headers. Applies the headers to Vercel responses.
SSR header enforcement and OAuth redirect hardening website/src/server.ts, website/src/server/auth.ts	Applies security headers to SSR responses, warns about forwarded OAuth origins in production, and normalizes backslashes in safe paths.
Generated HTML sanitization and strict tooling website/package.json, website/tools/generate-content.mjs, website/tsconfig.json	Adds DOMPurify, sanitizes rendered Markdown HTML with JSDOM, preserves existing formatting behavior, and enables strict compiler checks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4dea4

Add regression coverage for the trusted HTML boundary.

website/src/app/pages/docs/doc-page.ts passes Doc.html to bypassSecurityTrustHtml. Add a build-time integration test around renderDocument. Assert that scripts, event handlers, and javascript: URLs are removed, while Shiki output and rendered asides remain intact.
