Bound the loginAttempts map.

loginAttempts stores an entry for every source IP, but no code removes expired entries. A public attacker using many source IPs can grow this map for the lifetime of the process. The counter resets after 15 minutes, but the stored entry remains. Use an expiring, bounded store, or prune expired entries and enforce a maximum number of tracked IPs.

In `@server/auth.js` around lines 11 - 21, Bound the loginAttempts store used by
checkRateLimit by removing expired IP entries and enforcing a maximum number of
tracked IPs, while preserving the existing 15-minute reset and 429 behavior.
Ensure cleanup occurs as entries are checked or added so stale records cannot
accumulate indefinitely.
