api-gateway service-auth plugin doesn't rotate internal service keys

[therealjhay]

ProblemInternal service credentials are static; no rotation mechanism or per-deploy secret support exists.

1. Static shared keys.
2. No rotation support.
3. Compromise requires full redeploy.

Solution

• Support multiple valid keys with rotation windows.
• Add a rotation test.
• Document rotation process.

Acceptance Criteria

• Two overlapping keys work during rotation.
• Rotation documented.
• pnpm --filter api-gateway build passes.

Note for Contributors: Write a clear PR description. Show overlapping-key rotation working.
