fix: keep local api serve unauthenticated

maintainer edit: Align OpenAI-compatible API auth with the WebSocket channel boundary: loopback serve remains usable without a key, while wildcard binds still fail before agent initialization unless api.api_key is configured.

**API Calls:**
- All external API calls use HTTPS by default
- Timeouts are configured to prevent hanging requests
- The OpenAI-compatible API server requires `api.api_key` for API routes; only `/health` remains unauthenticated for probes and load balancers
- The OpenAI-compatible API server must set `api.api_key` when binding to `0.0.0.0` or `::`; otherwise startup fails to prevent unauthenticated network access

## Authentication
`nanobot serve` requires `api.apiKey` for all API binds. Without it, startup
fails before the agent is initialized. Keep the key secret and send it as a
Bearer token on API routes.
Local-only `127.0.0.1` usage does not require an API key. If you bind the API
server to all interfaces with `api.host: "0.0.0.0"` or `"::"`, nanobot requires
`api.apiKey`; otherwise startup fails to avoid exposing an unauthenticated agent
endpoint on the network.
```json
{
"api": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 8900,
"apiKey": "${NANOBOT_API_KEY}"
}
}
```
The health endpoint remains unauthenticated so local probes and load balancers
can still check process health.
When `api.apiKey` is set, send it as a Bearer token on API routes. The health
endpoint remains unauthenticated so local probes and load balancers can still
check process health.
