Rename 'username' → 'user' and tighten auth flows

Standardize user/password naming across API, CLI, docs and examples (field/flag renamed from `username`/`--username` to `user`/`--user`). Harden authentication: WebSocket AuthSuccess now carries `user` and a typed Role enum, and bearer token authentication rejects tokens whose claimed role doesn't match the stored user role. SDK/client auth surfaces moved toward an authProvider model (remove anonymous/no-auth type, treat Auth.basic as a login bootstrap only and require JWT for protected requests), TypeScript auth types updated, and client initialization/login logic adjusted accordingly. Other cleanups: minor renames and refactors (impersonation resolved_user variable), user model column ordinals reordered, subscription helper changed to allow subscribing without initial data, and tests/docs/examples updated (including a new test asserting stale elevated bearer tokens are rejected).
