fix(mosaic): address code review findings for gateway token recovery (CU-03-08)

- auth.ts: write session.json with mode 0o600 (was world-readable; cookie is a credential)
- login.ts: add promptSecret() using TTY raw mode so password is not echoed to terminal
- login.ts: export promptLine() so token-ops.ts can use it (keeps prompts mockable in tests)
- login.ts: fix password trimming — do not trim() passwords (may have intentional whitespace)
- token-ops.ts: use promptLine/promptSecret from login.ts (replaces inline readline)
- token-ops.ts: persistToken() warns when --gateway targets a different host than meta.json
- gateway.ts: mark --password flag [UNSAFE] in help; emit console.warn when it is used
- recover-token.spec.ts: update mock to include promptLine/promptSecret from ./login.js
