feat: add JWT/OAuth2 authentication & multi-tenant federation

- Add LLMAuth struct with support for Bearer, API Key, and Custom auth types
- Implement applyAuth() to inject auth headers into LLM requests
- Add X-Tenant-ID header for multi-tenant isolation
- Add X-OAuth-Scopes header for OAuth2 scope enforcement
- Add UpdateAuth() for runtime token refresh (long-running workflows)
- Update LLMRouterConfig with Auth and TenantID fields
- Document 4 authentication patterns (Bearer, API Key, Custom, Router config)
- Add security best practices: token vault integration, tenant isolation, scopes
- Add audit headers for compliance & logging
- Create multi-tenant router factory pattern

Auth types supported:
- Bearer: JWT/OAuth2 tokens (most secure for federated access)
- API Key: Static keys (X-API-Key header)
- Custom: Any custom header-based scheme
- None: No authentication

Customers can now pass per-tenant JWT tokens with customized scopes
and isolated LLM API access per tenant/customer.

+### Authentication & Federation
+
+Poimen supports multiple authentication methods to federate LLM access across customers and tenants:
+
+#### 1. Bearer Token (JWT/OAuth2)
+```go
+auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:    "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",  // JWT token from your auth provider
+    TenantID: "customer-123",               // Optional: tenant isolation
+    Scopes:   "llm:read llm:write",        // Optional: OAuth2 scopes
+}
+client := routing.NewLLMClientWithAuth(auth)
+```
+
+#### 2. API Key
+```go
+auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeAPIKey,
+    APIKey:   "sk-xxx-yyy-zzz",  // API key from provider
+    TenantID: "customer-456",
+}
+client := routing.NewLLMClientWithAuth(auth)
+```
+
+#### 3. Custom Header
+```go
+auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:        routing.AuthTypeCustom,
+    HeaderName:  "X-Custom-Auth",
+    HeaderValue: "custom-token-value",
+    TenantID:    "customer-789",
+}
+client := routing.NewLLMClientWithAuth(auth)
+```
+
+#### 4. Router Configuration with Auth
+```go
+config := &routing.LLMRouterConfig{
+    Provider:      openaiProvider,
+    KnowledgeBase: kb,
+    Auth: &routing.LLMAuth{
+        Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+        Token:    jwtToken,
+        TenantID: customerID,  // Tenant isolation in multi-tenant deployments
+    },
+    TenantID: customerID,  // Additional tenant tracking
+}
+router := routing.NewLLMRouter(config)
+```
+
+#### Multi-Tenant Federated Access
+
+For multi-tenant deployments:
+
+```go
+// Per-customer isolated routers
+func CreateCustomerRouter(customerID, jwtToken string) (*routing.LLMRouter, error) {
+    auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+        Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+        Token:    jwtToken,
+        TenantID: customerID,  // Passed to LLM API in X-Tenant-ID header
+        Scopes:   "llm:read",  // Restrict scopes per customer
+    }
+    
+    config := &routing.LLMRouterConfig{
+        Provider:      &routing.LLMClient{},
+        KnowledgeBase: globalKB,
+        Auth:          auth,
+        TenantID:      customerID,
+    }
+    
+    return routing.NewLLMRouter(config)
+}
+
+// Usage in activity
+input := &routing.LLMRouterInput{
+    Message:   "Analyze code",
+    MemoryContext: memCtx,
+}
+output, err := router.Route(ctx, input)
+// Headers sent to LLM API:
+// Authorization: Bearer <jwtToken>
+// X-Tenant-ID: <customerID>
+// X-OAuth-Scopes: llm:read
+```
+
+#### Token Refresh & Rotation
+
+For long-running workflows, update auth at runtime:
+
+```go
+client := routing.NewLLMClientWithAuth(oldAuth)
+
+// Token expires, refresh it
+newAuth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:    refreshedToken,  // New token from OAuth2 provider
+    TenantID: customerID,
+}
+client.UpdateAuth(newAuth)
+
+// Subsequent requests use new token
+result, err := client.Chat(ctx, systemPrompt, userMsg)
+```
+
+#### Headers Sent to LLM API
+
+| Header | Set When | Value | Purpose |
+|--------|----------|-------|---------|
+| `Authorization` | Bearer auth | `Bearer {token}` | OAuth2/JWT authentication |
+| `X-API-Key` | API Key auth | `{api-key}` | API key authentication |
+| `X-Tenant-ID` | Any auth type | `{tenantID}` | Tenant/customer isolation |
+| `X-OAuth-Scopes` | Bearer with scopes | Space-separated scopes | OAuth2 scope enforcement |
+| Custom header | Custom auth | `{headerValue}` | Custom authentication scheme |

+## Security & Multi-Tenancy
+
+### Token Management
+
+**Never hardcode tokens!** Use secure secret management:
+
+```go
+// ❌ DON'T DO THIS
+auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Token: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",  // Hardcoded!
+}
+
+// ✅ DO THIS
+tokenFromVault, _ := vaultClient.GetSecret("llm-token-" + customerID)
+auth := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:    tokenFromVault,
+    TenantID: customerID,
+}
+```
+
+**Recommended secret management:**
+- Kubernetes Secrets (development)
+- HashiCorp Vault (production)
+- AWS Secrets Manager / GCP Secret Manager (cloud)
+- Sealed Secrets / Sealed Policies
+
+### Tenant Isolation
+
+The `TenantID` header enforces tenant isolation on the LLM API side:
+
+```go
+// Customer A's workflow
+authA := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:    tokenA,
+    TenantID: "customer-A",  // ← Isolates this customer
+}
+
+// Customer B's workflow
+authB := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:     routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:    tokenB,
+    TenantID: "customer-B",  // ← Isolates this customer
+}
+```
+
+The LLM API server should:
+- Validate tenant ownership of tokens
+- Enforce data boundaries per tenant
+- Log access per tenant ID
+- Rate-limit per tenant
+
+### Scope-Based Access Control
+
+Use OAuth2 scopes to limit capabilities:
+
+```go
+// Analytics-only customer
+analytics := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:   routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:  token,
+    Scopes: "llm:read",  // Read-only
+}
+
+// Full-access customer
+admin := &routing.LLMAuth{
+    Type:   routing.AuthTypeBearer,
+    Token:  token,
+    Scopes: "llm:read llm:write llm:admin",  // Full access
+}
+```
+
+The LLM API server should validate scopes before executing requests.
+
+### Audit & Compliance
+
+All requests include identifying headers for audit trails:
+
+```
+POST /v1/chat/completions
+Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGc...
+X-Tenant-ID: customer-A
+X-OAuth-Scopes: llm:read
+
+# Server logs:
+# timestamp=2024-01-15T10:30:00Z tenant=customer-A scope=llm:read status=200 tokens=1500
+```
