Simplify access control from 500+ lines to ~50 lines of core logic:
- New permission bitmask (PermRead/Write/Delete/Manage)
- Hierarchical access (dossier → category → entry)
- Single choke points: CheckAccess(), EntryQuery(), DossierQuery()
- All data access now enforced through lib RBAC layer
- Removed complex role templates and permission caching
Also improved NewID() to use UUID v4 + SHA-256 hash for better
randomness distribution (was limited to 0-7 hex start).
Net -210 lines across 28 files. Ready for staging deployment.

Changed from empty accessorID bypassing checks to explicit SystemAccessorID
for better security and audit trail.
Before: accessorID == "" → bypass all checks (security risk)
After: accessorID == "system-internal" → bypass (explicit, auditable)
Changes:
- Added SystemAccessorID constant = "system-internal"
- Updated SystemContext to use SystemAccessorID
- Updated checkAccess() to check for specific ID
- Updated accessorIDFromContext() to return SystemAccessorID
- Updated all EntryList calls to use SystemAccessorID
- Updated auth.go helpers to use SystemAccessorID
Benefits:
- Explicit backdoor ID visible in audit logs
- No accidental bypass from empty strings
- Clear intent for system operations
- Can't collide with real hex dossier IDs (uses "system" prefix)

Complete refactor from AccessContext struct to simple accessorID string
parameter for RBAC enforcement, as requested. All access control remains
in lib layer - API/Portal just pass accessor + dossier to lib functions.
Changes:
- Added accessorIDFromContext() helper in lib/v2.go
- Updated all checkAccess() calls to extract accessorID from context
- Updated all EntryList() calls (nil → "" for system context)
- Fixed auth.go helper functions to extract accessorID
- Updated categories API to pass accessor through to lib
All RBAC enforcement stays in lib - no API-level access checks.
Empty accessorID bypasses checks (system/internal operations).
