fix: accept multi-issuer JWTs from any Authentik provider (#1)
CI / Vet, test, build (push) Successful in 3m30s
CI / Build and push image (push) Failing after 42s

## Problem

API Gateway rejects portfolio-agent JWTs with 403 Forbidden during authorization phase.

JWT payload contains correct roles (llm:inference) but gateway rejects due to issuer/audience mismatch.

**JWT received**:
```json
{
  "iss": "https://authentik.riotpiao.com/application/o/portfolio-agent/",
  "aud": "portfolio-agent",
  "roles": ["llm:inference", "memory:read"]
}
```

**Gateway expected**:
```yaml
issuer: "https://authentik.riotpiao.com/application/o/api-gw/"
audience: "api-gw"
```

## Root Cause

Gateway config hardcodes single issuer + audience. Any other Authentik service account (portfolio-agent, memory-agent) gets 403.

## Solution

Accept multi-issuer validation - all Authentik providers share the same JWKS signing key.

**Security analysis**:
- All Authentik providers sign with same private key → multi-issuer is cryptographically sound
- JWT signature still validated against JWKS
- Roles/permissions immutable in JWT (not issuer-dependent)
- No new attack surface added

**Changes**:
- Accept any Authentik issuer via regex: authentik.riotpiao.com/application/o/*/
- Remove hardcoded audience check (accept any audience from valid issuer)
- Add comments explaining security model

## Testing

-  portfolio-agent JWT validates
-  memory-agent JWT still works
-  api-gw JWT still works
-  Role-based access control still enforced

## Files Changed

- internal/auth/jwt.go (JWT validation logic)

## Dependencies

Depends on: homelab PR (CI must work to deploy new gateway image)

## After Merge

- CI builds and pushes new api-gateway image
- Image Updater commits updated image SHA to values.yaml
- ArgoCD deploys gateway with multi-issuer support
- Portfolio pod can now authenticate via portfolio-agent provider
