fix: resolve MEDIUM-severity issues from code review

Prompt injection mitigation:
- Wrap user question in <user_question> XML tags in LLM prompt
- Add system prompt instruction to treat tagged content as untrusted

Docker security:
- Bind ChromaDB and API ports to localhost only (127.0.0.1)
- Remove redundant DB init command from api service (lifespan handles it)
- Remove deprecated version field and unused volume definitions
- Add API_SECRET env var to api and discord-bot services

Gitea labels fix:
- Remove string labels from API payload (Gitea expects integer IDs)
- Include label names as text in issue body instead

Conversation cleanup:
- Add periodic background task in lifespan (every 5 minutes)
- Cleans up conversations older than CONVERSATION_TTL (default 30 min)
- Graceful cancellation on shutdown
