Subject: [PATCH] security: remove hardcoded admin email from auth middleware

- Removed hardcoded email 'gustavo.caetano@gmail.com' from default admin list in `backend/src/middleware/auth.ts`.
- Added test `backend/src/tests/auth-admin-config.test.ts` to verify access is denied by default and granted only via `ADMIN_EMAILS`.
- Updated `.Jules/sentinel.md` with the finding and resolution.

This fixes a critical vulnerability where a specific email address had irrevocable admin access.
Admin access must now be explicitly configured via the `ADMIN_EMAILS` environment variable.
