fix(auth): dedupe handler + error utils refactor

- Add 401/403 dedup guard to API client to prevent double logout
- Extract fetchError util: isAuthError + getErrorMessage
- AuthProvider uses new error utils, removes duplicate logic
- Remove completed task docs from Tasks.md

-### Issue #47: HIGH - CSRF Middleware Hardcodes Cookie Name
-
-**Where found**:
-- `backend/app/middleware/csrf.py:38-39` – `_SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = "bangui_session"` literal
-- `backend/app/utils/constants.py` – `SESSION_COOKIE_NAME` constant already exists
-
-**Why this is needed**:
-If the session cookie name is changed via configuration, the CSRF middleware will silently stop finding the cookie, either breaking all requests or bypassing CSRF protection depending on the failure mode.
-
-**Goal**:
-Use the single source of truth (`SESSION_COOKIE_NAME` constant) everywhere the cookie name is referenced.
-
-**What to do**:
-1. Replace the local literal in `csrf.py` with an import of `SESSION_COOKIE_NAME` from `constants.py`.
-2. Audit all files for other inline `"bangui_session"` occurrences and replace them.
-
-**Possible traps and issues**:
-- If the constant is loaded after middleware is instantiated, ensure import order is safe.
-
-**Docs changes needed**:
-- None.
-
-**Doc references**:
-- `backend/app/utils/constants.py`

-### Issue #48: HIGH - CSRF Header Name Has No Shared Constant
-
-**Where found**:
-- `backend/app/middleware/csrf.py` – header name hardcoded
-- `frontend/src/api/client.ts:176` – same header name hardcoded independently
-
-**Why this is needed**:
-The CSRF header name is duplicated across two codebases with no link between them. Changing it in one place silently breaks CSRF protection.
-
-**Goal**:
-Single source of truth for the CSRF header name, consumed by both frontend and backend.
-
-**What to do**:
-1. Define `CSRF_HEADER_NAME` in `backend/app/utils/constants.py`.
-2. Expose it via a public API endpoint (e.g., `/api/v1/config/constants`) or document it in a shared config file consumed by the frontend build.
-3. Reference the constant in `csrf.py` and `client.ts`.
-
-**Possible traps and issues**:
-- Exposing security-related header names via API may aid reconnaissance; weigh the trade-off.
-
-**Docs changes needed**:
-- `Docs/`: add or update a "Security Headers" section.
-
-**Doc references**:
-- `backend/app/middleware/csrf.py`
