fix(security): patch shipping dep CVEs + make audit gate meaningful

The security workflow ran 'npm audit' on a throwaway npm tree (repo is
pnpm) at --audit-level=high, so it flapped red daily on transitive
build/test-tooling CVEs that never reach users.

- Patch the real production-reachable vulns via pnpm.overrides (same-major,
  safe): shell-quote (critical), undici, node-forge, @xmldom/xmldom,
  fast-uri, hono, @hono/node-server, @babel systemjs, minimatch, picomatch,
  tar@7. Bump next 16.1.4 -> 16.2.9 (HTTP-deserialization DoS).
- Rework the gate: audit the real pnpm lockfile, --prod (what ships),
  print the full high/moderate report for visibility, but BLOCK only on
  critical (rare + actionable; transitive high tooling churn is constant
  noise and is fixed via overrides when it actually reaches prod).

Verified: web typecheck + 537 tests + next build, desktop 461 tests, and
`pnpm audit --prod --audit-level critical` passes (0 critical).
