feat: security hardening, production roadmap, admin panel v1

Client security fixes (cmd/tailscale-tray/main.go):
- SSRF protection in Add Server dialog (validateControlURL): reject
  private/loopback/link-local/cloud-metadata IPs via DNS resolution
- RCE gate on AuthURL/BrowseToURL exec paths (validateAuthURL)
- Sanitized URL logging (sanitizeURLForLog drops query auth tokens)
- Error handling on exec.Command with user-facing showError()

Admin panel security (web-admin):
- Bcrypt password hashing (replaces SHA256)
- Rate limiting: 5 failed logins → 15-min lockout
- Session + login attempt cleanup goroutine (hourly)
- url.QueryEscape / encodeURIComponent for all API params
- Fail-hard startup when no TLS and non-loopback bind
- ADMIN_PASSWORD required (no default), password min 12 chars
- Username regex whitelist

Installer hardening (Setup.wxs):
- util:PermissionEx restricts SCM access: only Administrators +
  SYSTEM can start/stop/reconfigure service. Authenticated Users
  limited to QueryStatus/QueryConfig/Interrogate
- Vital="yes" on ServiceInstall

Docs & roadmap:
- PRODUCTION_ROADMAP.md: 5-milestone plan (security + features +
  distribution + ops) with granular tasks, effort, done-when
- CLIENT_SECURITY_AUDIT.md, SECURITY_FIXES.md, DEPLOYMENT.md
- AI assistant rules (.cursorrules, .antigravityrules, etc.)

Build & distribution:
- build-msi.ps1, deploy-and-sign.ps1, sign-release.ps1
- redeploy.ps1, tray-deploy.ps1, test-msi.ps1
- installer/msi/ alternative WXS setup
- Restored .github/workflows/ removed in mirror cleanup

.gitignore hardened: *.pfx, *.p12, *.key, *.pem, .env*

+Mức độ bảo mật: Từ NGUY HIỂM → TRUNG BÌNH-CAO
+
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+🔧 CÁC LỖNG HỔNG ĐÃ SỬA (7 VULNERABILITIES)
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+[1] 🔴 NGUY HIỂM TỐI ĐẠI: Hashing Mật Khẩu Yếu
+    └─ SHA256 → bcrypt (12 iterations)
+    └─ Tập tin: web-admin/main.go:114-127
+    └─ Impact: Offline crack 10M mật khẩu/giây → 10B
+
+[2] 🔴 NGUY HIỂM TỐI ĐẠI: Mật Khẩu Admin Mặc Định
+    └─ "admin123" → Buộc cấu hình env var
+    └─ Tập tin: web-admin/main.go:217-230, docker-compose.yml
+    └─ Impact: Loại bỏ default credentials hoàn toàn
+
+[3] 🔴 NGUY HIỂM: Tiêm Tham Số URL
+    └─ Không mã hóa → url.QueryEscape()
+    └─ Tập tin: main.go:481,757,669 + app.js:424
+    └─ Impact: Ngăn CRLF injection & parameter pollution
+
+[4] 🔴 NGUY HIỂM: Không TLS/HTTPS
+    └─ HTTP plaintext → Hỗ trợ HTTPS tùy chọn
+    └─ Tập tin: main.go:32,169-215
+    └─ Impact: Sessions & API keys bây giờ mã hóa
+
+[5] 🟠 CAO: Quản Lý Phiên Yếu
+    └─ Thêm: Rate limiting + 15min account lockout
+    └─ Tập tin: main.go:137-145, 258-310
+    └─ Impact: Ngăn brute force (5 attempts = lock)
+
+[6] 🟠 CAO: Không Xác Thực Input
+    └─ Thêm: Username validation regex
+    └─ Tập tin: main.go:131-142
+    └─ Impact: Chỉ alphanumeric+underscore+dash+dot
+
+[7] 🟠 CAO: Mật Khẩu Quá Yếu
+    └─ 4 chars → 12 chars tối thiểu
+    └─ Tập tin: Tất cả handlers
+    └─ Impact: Tăng entropy mật khẩu 3x

+
+1. Cấu hình biến môi trường:
+   export ADMIN_PASSWORD="YourStrongPassword123"
+   export HEADSCALE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+
+2. Tạo TLS certificates:
+   mkdir -p certs
+   openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout certs/key.pem \
+     -out certs/cert.pem -days 365 -nodes
+
+3. Khởi động:
+   docker compose build --no-cache
+   docker compose up -d
+
+4. Kiểm tra:
+   docker compose logs -f headscale-admin
+   curl -v --insecure https://localhost:9080/
