test(shared): narrow PasswordCheckResult before reading reason

CI typecheck failed because the discriminated union returned by
checkPasswordPolicy only exposes `reason` on the `{ ok: false }` branch.
Guard each `.reason` assertion with `if (!result.ok)` so the test file
typechecks under exactOptionalPropertyTypes.

+- Deploy path:
+  1. Update the secret in the deployment secret store (not in repo).
+  2. Roll all application containers — existing JWTs signed under the old key fail verification and the user is redirected to sign-in.
+  3. There is no multi-key transition window: this is a hard cut on purpose, because a compromised signing key must be retired immediately.
+- Recommended cadence: quarterly, or immediately on suspected compromise.
+- **`POSTGRES_PASSWORD`** rotation is coordinated across postgres container init, the app container's `DATABASE_URL`, and any external replication consumers — follow the deployment runbook.

+### Prompt-Injection Guard (defense-in-depth only)
+
+`packages/api/src/lib/prompt-guard.ts` runs a short regex list against every
+free-text user prompt sent to an AI tool (assistant chat + project-cover
+DALL-E prompt). Input is normalised before the regex runs:
+
+1. Unicode NFKD decomposition (collapses fullwidth / compatibility forms and
+   splits diacritics from their base letter).
+2. Strip zero-width / directional / combining code points that attackers use
+   to break contiguous substring matches.
+3. Fold a small set of Cyrillic / Greek homoglyphs to their Latin
+   equivalents.
+
+This guard is **defense-in-depth, not an authorisation boundary**. The actual
+security boundary for AI-initiated actions is the per-tool
+`requirePermission(ctx, PermissionKey.*)` check inside every assistant tool —
+an LLM that has been successfully jailbroken still cannot perform an action
+its caller's role does not allow. Motivated adversaries **will** find prompts
+that defeat the regex layer; its purpose is to raise the cost of casual
+injection attempts and to surface them as audit-log entries.

+// Atomic compare-and-swap for TOTP replay-window consumption.
+//
+// The old code path was: SELECT lastTotpAt → compare in JS → UPDATE. Two
+// concurrent requests with the same valid 6-digit code both see a stale
+// (or null) lastTotpAt, both pass the in-JS check, and both succeed. A
+// stolen TOTP (shoulder-surf, phishing-proxy replay) is therefore usable
+// twice within its 30 s window — the MFA design promise is violated.
+//
+// A single `updateMany` expresses the entire precondition in SQL: the WHERE
+// clause guarantees the row has not been consumed in the last 30 s, and the
+// SET sets the new timestamp. PostgreSQL's row-level lock serialises the two
+// racing writes; whichever commits second sees rows-affected = 0 and the
+// caller treats it as a replay.
+//
+// The 30 000 ms window matches the TOTP period (RFC 6238) — codes are
+// validated with `window: 1` so adjacent periods are still accepted; the
+// anti-replay check is the tighter per-code, per-user bound.
+
+// Intentionally loose structural type — Prisma's generated signature is a
