Kristjan ESPERANTO ca7b752025 fix(security): prevent unauthorized secret expansion in socket payloads (#4184)
This PR attempts to fix the unauthorized secret expansion vulnerability
reported in
[GHSA-q4gh-4ffp-5cg8](https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/security/advisories/GHSA-q4gh-4ffp-5cg8).

Previously, if a module sent a payload through the socket containing any
`**SECRET_FOO**` placeholder, the server would unconditionally expand it
with the real environment variable. This meant a manipulated module
could theoretically extract secrets that belonged to other modules.

To prevent this, the expansion logic is now much stricter and scoped to
the individual module:
* In `app.js`, we now store a copy of the redacted config
(`global.configRedacted`) to keep track of which module uses which
secrets.
* In `node_helper.js`, before handling a socket notification, we build a
specific "allow-list" (`Set`) of secrets that are actually present in
the calling module's config.
* `replaceSecretPlaceholder` in `server_functions.js` was updated to
accept this `Set` and will now only expand placeholders that the module
is explicitly authorized to know. Unlisted placeholders are safely
ignored.

I also updated the unit tests to cover the new allow-list behavior.

Since this security stuff is tricky and gives me headaches all the time,
I've added more comments than usual.

I've tried several ways to make it a little simpler, but unfortunately,
I couldn't come up with anything easier than that. I'd appreciate it if
someone could take a critical look at the logic to make sure I didn't
miss anything!

// Tests use vi.spyOn on shared module objects (dns, undici).

// in vitest-setup.js. restoreAllMocks:true auto-restores spies, but may reuse the same
// spy instance — mockClear() is called explicitly in beforeEach to reset call history.
