🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: The API lacked standard security headers, which could expose users to MIME-sniffing, clickjacking (if APIs were somehow embedded), or downgrade attacks on HTTPS.
🎯 Impact: Enhances the baseline security of the application and prevents classes of attacks related to transport and frame embedding.
🔧 Fix: Injected X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: DENY, and Strict-Transport-Security headers into the standard request_context_middleware ensuring all API routes get these protections without breaking JSON clients or Swagger UI (CSP omitted for this reason).
✅ Verification: Verified headers are applied using unit tests and end-to-end integration tests.

Adds `X-Content-Type-Options`, `X-Frame-Options`, and `Strict-Transport-Security` to outgoing API responses via `request_context_middleware` for defense-in-depth API protection.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
