feat(api): error codes, idempotency keys, cursor pagination

- Stable machine-readable error codes alongside the error message
  (UNAUTHENTICATED, INVALID_TOKEN, ADMIN_REQUIRED, SCOPE_INSUFFICIENT,
  IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS); CLI renders "CODE: message".
- Idempotency middleware on authed/admin groups: POST requests with an
  Idempotency-Key header replay the first response for 24h (Redis-backed,
  caller-scoped); concurrent duplicates get 409. X-Idempotent-Replay
  header marks replays.
- Shared pagination helpers: ?cursor= (opaque, preferred) alongside
  legacy ?page= on projects and deployments lists; pagination meta
  includes next_cursor; invalid cursors fail soft to page 1.
- CLI --idempotency-key flag for safe scripted retries.
- OpenAPI updated: error envelope, cursor params, idempotency contract.
