* fix: only count failed attempts against auth rate limit Add skipSuccessfulRequests: true to authRateLimiter so that successful logins do not consume quota. This fixes breakage for API clients (actual-cli, actual-mcp, custom scripts) that re-authenticate per operation — they always provide the correct password, so they should never be rate-limited. Brute-force attackers generate repeated failures and still hit the wall.
