docs(arch): show Caddy + X-Forwarded-Proto in auth-flow diagram

Browse Source 
Adds the Caddy hop to seq-auth-flow.puml and surfaces the two
production-relevant header behaviours:

  - Caddy terminates TLS and forwards X-Forwarded-Proto: https
  - Spring Boot trusts this header (server.forward-headers-strategy:
    native, ForwardedRequestCustomizer at the Jetty layer), so
    request.getScheme() returns "https"
  - The Set-Cookie response carries the Secure flag because the
    observed scheme is https — without forward-headers-strategy this
    would silently drop to plain http and the cookie would lose Secure

Closes the doc-currency gap flagged in the Markus review on PR #499:
"Auth flow change → docs/architecture/c4/seq-auth-flow.puml".

User -> Browser: Enter email + password
Browser -> Frontend: POST /login (form action)
Browser -> Caddy: HTTPS POST /login (form action)
note right of Caddy
Caddy terminates TLS and forwards
to Frontend over HTTP with:
X-Forwarded-Proto: https
X-Forwarded-For: <client IP>
X-Forwarded-Host: archiv.raddatz.cloud
end note
Caddy -> Frontend: HTTP POST /login\n+ X-Forwarded-Proto: https
Frontend -> Frontend: Base64 encode "email:password"
Frontend -> Backend: GET /api/users/me\nAuthorization: Basic <token>
Frontend -> Backend: GET /api/users/me\nAuthorization: Basic <token>\n+ X-Forwarded-Proto: https
note right of Backend
server.forward-headers-strategy: native
Jetty's ForwardedRequestCustomizer
reads X-Forwarded-Proto so
request.getScheme() returns "https".
end note
Backend -> Backend: Spring Security parses Basic Auth
Backend -> DB: SELECT user WHERE email=?
DB --> Backend: AppUser + groups + permissions
Backend -> Backend: BCrypt.matches(password, hash)
Backend --> Frontend: 200 OK — UserDTO
Frontend -> Browser: Set-Cookie: auth_token=<base64>\n(httpOnly, SameSite=strict, maxAge=86400)
Browser -> Frontend: GET / (next request)
Frontend -> Caddy: Set-Cookie: auth_token=<base64>\n(httpOnly, **Secure**, SameSite=strict, maxAge=86400)
note right of Frontend
Secure flag is set because the
request scheme observed by the
app is https (forwarded by Caddy).
end note
Caddy -> Browser: HTTPS 200 + Set-Cookie
Browser -> Caddy: HTTPS GET / (next request)
Caddy -> Frontend: HTTP GET / + X-Forwarded-Proto: https
Frontend -> Frontend: hooks.server.ts reads auth_token cookie
Frontend -> Backend: GET /api/users/me\nAuthorization: Basic <token>
Backend --> Frontend: 200 OK — user in event.locals
Frontend --> Browser: Render page with user context
Frontend --> Caddy: rendered page
Caddy --> Browser: HTTPS 200
