Subject: [PATCH] Add production security settings for HTTPS/SSL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes all 4 Django security warnings:
- ✅ security.W004: Added SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS (1 year HSTS)
- ✅ security.W008: Documented SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT=False (NPM handles SSL)
- ✅ security.W012: Enabled SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
- ✅ security.W016: Enabled CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE

Additional security hardening:
- HSTS with subdomains and preload
- HttpOnly CSRF cookies
- XSS filter enabled
- Content type sniffing prevention
- Clickjacking protection (X-Frame-Options: DENY)

Note: SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT is intentionally False because Nginx Proxy
Manager handles SSL termination and HTTP→HTTPS redirects at the
reverse proxy level.
