feat(security): log out users deactivated mid-session [DRAFT]

Flask-Login only checks is_active when establishing a login; for an
already-authenticated user it does not re-check it per request, so a user
disabled by an administrator keeps their session until it expires (FINDING-018
/ ASVS 7.4.2, CWE-613).

Add a before_request hook that re-checks current_user.is_active and logs the
user out as soon as their account is deactivated; the request then proceeds as
anonymous and the normal access controls deny protected views. Deleted users
are already handled (the user loader returns None). No migration required;
auth/login/logout/static/health endpoints are exempt to avoid loops.

This implements the immediate disable/delete case from the SIP (Part A2); the
broader "invalidation epoch" (revoke sessions without deactivating) remains a
future enhancement.

DRAFT: runs on the authenticated request path; needs end-to-end validation
(disable a logged-in user, confirm next request is denied; confirm normal users
and the login/logout flow are unaffected) before merge.
