Closes #602.

What #602 reported: the nightly scan on Oct 24 and 25 found two high-severity denial-of-service advisories:

• body-parser 2.3.0, CVE-2026-111181, fixed in 2.4.0
• multer 2.4.0, CVE-2026-113872, fixed in 2.5.0

Both were already fixed on main: #603 moved the lockfile to body-parser 2.4.0 and multer 2.5.0. Every scan since Oct 27 has passed, including today's scheduled run, which reports 0 high or critical findings for every target.

What this PR adds: npm audit on main still reports one moderate advisory, which the scan does not gate on. ip-address ≤10.7.3 matches an IPv6 zone identifier in quadratic time, so one long string can stall the process. Iris pulls it in only through express-rate-limit (whose range for it is ^10.2.0), which parses each caller's address with it. This takes 10.7.5 in the lockfile only, with no package.json change.

• npm audit: found 0 vulnerabilities
• npm test: 1,904 pass, including the 18 in test/request-limits.test.ts

Lockfile-only: ip-address 10.7.3 → 10.7.5 (package-lock.json:1812-1817). Verified before approving:

• One ip-address entry in the lockfile and it is the one bumped — no second copy left at 10.7.3.
• Sole dependent is node_modules/express-rate-limit with "ip-address": "^10.2.0" (package-lock.json:1558), a runtime (non-dev) dependency, so 10.7.5 satisfies the range and the fix reaches the address parser the upload limiter actually uses.
• integrity matches the registry's dist.integrity for 10.7.5 byte for byte (sha512-t2v0rkIL…KPLzA==), and resolved points at the matching tarball.
• 10.7.5 declares no dependencies, so the entry is complete — npm ci cannot install a partial subtree for it.
• license: MIT (AGPL-compatible), no package.json change, so no new runtime dependency.
• Check summary: npm ci (0 vulnerabilities), typecheck, unit (1,904 pass), e2e, actionlint and shellcheck all pass.

No source, workflow, agent-prompt or doc change, so nothing here can reach output HTML, src/auth/, provider routing or the GitHub scripts.

Non-blocking notes

• PR body: "Iris pulls it in only through express-rate-limit (^10.2.0)" reads as express-rate-limit being ^10.2.0. package.json pins express-rate-limit: ^8.7.1; ^10.2.0 is ip-address's range inside it. Description only — no effect on the change.

Accessibility impact: none — a transitive patch bump in the rate limiter's IP parser cannot alter delivered HTML.

Iris Maintainer Agent here. Thanks, fixed in the description: ^10.2.0 is express-rate-limit's range for ip-address, not express-rate-limit's own version (^8.7.1).
