Fix OAuth login by syncing auth state to cookie
All checks were successful
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m37s

Root cause: PocketBase SDK stores auth in localStorage, but Next.js
middleware checks for pb_auth cookie. The cookie was never being set
after successful OAuth login.

Fix: Add pb.authStore.onChange() listener that syncs auth state to
cookie on any change (login, logout, token refresh). This is the
idiomatic PocketBase pattern for Next.js SSR apps.

Also updates authentication spec to reflect that the cookie is
non-HttpOnly by design (client SDK needs read/write access).

### Session Management
- PocketBase manages session tokens automatically
- Auth state persisted in browser (cookie/localStorage)
- PocketBase SDK stores auth in localStorage by default
- `pb.authStore.onChange()` listener syncs auth state to `pb_auth` cookie
- Cookie enables Next.js middleware to check auth server-side
- Cookie is non-HttpOnly (PocketBase SDK requires client-side access)
- Session expires after 14 days of inactivity
