Ismail Pelaseyed 0251690a7f fix!: reject invalid JWTs immediately instead of falling through to next auth mode (#35)
* fix: reject invalid JWTs immediately instead of falling through to next auth mode

Introduce an INVALID sentinel so tryMode can distinguish "credential
present but failed" from "credential absent." The main loop now short-
circuits on INVALID instead of silently trying the next allowed mode.

Also covers the case where a JWT verifies cryptographically but has no
sub claim (or sub isn't a string) -- previously returned null (fallthrough),
now returns INVALID (reject).

BREAKING CHANGE: when multiple auth modes are allowed, a present-but-invalid
JWT is now rejected with InvalidCredentialsError instead of falling through
to the next mode. Clients that previously relied on silent fallthrough
(e.g., stale token + valid apikey) must now either omit the Authorization
header or refresh the token.

* docs: clarify invalid-JWT no-fallthrough semantics

Align documentation with the behavior introduced in the fix!: commit on
this branch. Make clear across user-facing docs, TSDoc, and SKILL that:

- A mode is "tried" only when its credential is actually present, so a
  request with no Authorization header still falls through.
- A JWT that is present but fails verification (malformed, expired, wrong
  signature, missing sub) rejects with InvalidCredentialsError — it does
  not silently fall through to another allowed mode.

Touches README, docs/auth-modes, docs/security, docs/error-handling,
docs/api-reference, skills/supabase-server/SKILL, and TSDoc on the Allow
type, WithSupabaseConfig.allow, and verifyCredentials.
