fix: implement CORS security to prevent unauthorized cross-origin requests

- Add Flask-CORS dependency to pyproject.toml
- Configure strict origin allowlist for tenantfirstaid.com domains
- Add development localhost origins when ENV=dev
- Enable credentials support for session handling
- Reject requests from unauthorized origins at server level

Fixes #94
