Indiana b6d491d563 fix: claiming a name keeps your account instead of abandoning it
The séance tells guests "claim a name to keep your codex". It was a lie.
register() unconditionally created a brand-new User row with a fresh UUID,
so a wanderer's essence, discovered entities, sightings, ritual/judgment
history and Ghost Log — every one of them foreign-keyed to the guest's
user_id — were silently orphaned the moment they registered. Now that
every visitor starts as a guest, that hit essentially everyone who ever
signed up.

A wanderer hitting /register now renames that same row in place, keeping
all relationships intact. The existing AuthSession stays valid (same
user_id), so claiming a name doesn't even log you out.

Scoped deliberately to wanderers. My first attempt rejected ANY
authenticated caller with a 409, which broke registering a second account
while logged in — a legitimate flow (shared computer, alt account) that
tests/test_device.py::test_device_feed_only_broadcasts_to_the_owning_user
caught immediately: its second register 409'd, its login then failed, and
"user B's" device got paired to user A, silently defeating a
cross-user-isolation assertion. A named caller's cookie is now ignored and
the normal create-a-new-row path runs.

Adds get_optional_current_user (None instead of 401) for endpoints that
behave differently for anonymous vs. authenticated callers but must stay
reachable without auth.

This was one of eight findings from an adversarial audit whose verifier
agents all died on session limits, so nothing was machine-verified — I
confirmed this one by reading the code and then proving it end-to-end.
The other seven remain unchecked.

331 backend tests pass. Verified live: guest 23846555 -> livehunter1, same
id, same session still valid.
