AthenaandCursor fe12eb1821 feat(security): bind services to loopback with Host + CORS allowlists
The Synapse backend and memory service bound 0.0.0.0 with wildcard CORS and no
auth, exposing the full unauthenticated admin/data API to the LAN. Default the
uvicorn bind to 127.0.0.1 (NEXUS_BIND_HOST override), scope CORS to known local
origins instead of "*", and add TrustedHostMiddleware to reject foreign Host
headers (which defeats DNS-rebinding, something same-origin CORS cannot stop).

NEXUS_ALLOWED_HOSTS / NEXUS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS allow opt-in LAN exposure, intended
to be paired with real authentication.

"""ncp - the NexusOS management CLI, one implementation for Linux and Windows.
This replaces the logic that lived in management/nexus-cli.sh. That script was
bash + pkill + fuser + /proc, so the Windows box had no `ncp` at all - the same
split that made bin/install.sh rot until it was rsyncing from a path retired
months earlier. Same fix as bin/sync.py: the portable half is Python, and the
per-platform pieces are small and explicit.
nexus-cli.sh is now a two-line wrapper, so `ncp`, launch_nexus.sh,
bin/restore-linux.sh, controlpanel.py, nexus-popup.py and nexus-app.sh all keep
calling what they always called.
psutil does the process work (cmdlines, pattern sweeps, port owners). It is
declared in requirements-base.txt AND requirements-windows.txt, so both boxes have
it - but it is imported lazily so `ncp backup`/`restore` still run before the
venv exists, exactly as they did when they shelled out to sync.py.
