Fix Rate Limiting Issues

- Updated Definition of Done report with detailed checks and results for backend and frontend tests. - Documented issues related to race conditions and test failures in QA reports. - Improved security scan notes and code cleanup status in QA reports. - Added summaries for rate limit integration test fixes, including root causes and resolutions. - Introduced new debug and integration scripts for rate limit testing. - Updated security documentation to reflect changes in configuration and troubleshooting steps. - Enhanced troubleshooting guides for CrowdSec and Go language server (gopls) errors. - Improved frontend and scripts README files for clarity and usage instructions.

 <!-- PR: History Rewrite & Large-file Removal -->

 ## Summary

 - Provide a short summary of why the history rewrite is needed.

 ## Checklist - required for history rewrite PRs
+
 - [ ] I have created a **local** backup branch: `backup/history-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` and verified it contains all refs.
 - [ ] I have pushed the backup branch to the remote origin and it is visible to reviewers.
 - [ ] I have run a dry-run locally: `scripts/history-rewrite/preview_removals.sh --paths 'backend/codeql-db,codeql-db,codeql-db-js,codeql-db-go' --strip-size 50` and attached the output or paste it below.

 **Note for maintainers**: `validate_after_rewrite.sh` will check that the `backups` and `backup_branch` are present and will fail if they are not. Provide `--backup-branch "backup/history-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS"` when running the scripts or set the `BACKUP_BRANCH` environment variable so automated validation can find the backup branch.

 ## Attachments
+
 Attach the `preview_removals` output and `data/backups/history_cleanup-*.log` content and any `data/backups` tarball created for this PR.

 ## Approach
+
 Describe the paths to be removed, strip size, and whether additional blob stripping is required.

 # Notes for maintainers

 - The workflow `.github/workflows/dry-run-history-rewrite.yml` will run automatically on PR updates.

 # Charon Copilot Instructions

 ## Code Quality Guidelines
+
 Every session should improve the codebase, not just add to it. Actively refactor code you encounter, even outside of your immediate task scope. Think about long-term maintainability and consistency. Make a detailed plan before writing code. Always create unit tests for new code coverage.

 - **DRY**: Consolidate duplicate patterns into reusable functions, types, or components after the second occurrence.

 - **CONVENTIONAL COMMITS**: Write commit messages using `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`, or `docs:` prefixes.

 ## 🚨 CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE RULES 🚨
+
 - **Single Frontend Source**: All frontend code MUST reside in `frontend/`. NEVER create `backend/frontend/` or any other nested frontend directory.
 - **Single Backend Source**: All backend code MUST reside in `backend/`.
 - **No Python**: This is a Go (Backend) + React/TypeScript (Frontend) project. Do not introduce Python scripts or requirements.

 ## Big Picture
+
 - Charon is a self-hosted web app for managing reverse proxy host configurations with the novice user in mind. Everything should prioritize simplicity, usability, reliability, and security, all rolled into one simple binary + static assets deployment. No external dependencies.
 - Users should feel like they have enterprise-level security and features with zero effort.

 - **Ignore Files**: Always check `.gitignore`, `.dockerignore`, and `.codecov.yml` when adding new file or folders.

 ## Documentation
+
 - **Features**: Update `docs/features.md` when adding capabilities.
 - **Links**: Use GitHub Pages URLs (`https://wikid82.github.io/charon/`) for docs and GitHub blob links for repo files.

 ## CI/CD & Commit Conventions
+
 - **Triggers**: Use `feat:`, `fix:`, or `perf:` to trigger Docker builds. `chore:` skips builds.
 - **Beta**: `feature/beta-release` always builds.

 ## ✅ Task Completion Protocol (Definition of Done)
+
 Before marking an implementation task as complete, perform the following:
-1.  **Pre-Commit Triage**: Run `pre-commit run --all-files`.
-    -   If errors occur, **fix them immediately**.
-    -   If logic errors occur, analyze and propose a fix.
-    -   Do not output code that violates pre-commit standards.
-2.  **Verify Build**: Ensure the backend compiles and the frontend builds without errors.
-3.  **Clean Up**: Ensure no debug print statements or commented-out blocks remain.
