This commit addresses the missing authentication vulnerability in the
dashboard server.
Changes:
- Added Basic Authentication support via TORCH_DASHBOARD_AUTH env var
or dashboard.auth config field.
- Defaulted dashboard host binding to 127.0.0.1 for better security.
- Added --host CLI argument to allow overriding the bind address.
- Used crypto.timingSafeEqual for secure credential comparison.
- Fixed a potential crash when parsing malformed Authorization headers.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for dashboard authentication.
- Updated documentation in README.md and torch-config.example.json.
