[QA] Verification PASSED
## Summary
All authentication middleware functionality verified and working correctly.
## Test Results
✅ All 319 automated tests passed
✅ Manual browser testing with chrome-devtools confirmed:
- Protected routes return 401 without token
- Protected routes succeed with valid JWT
- Invalid tokens rejected with 401
- Excluded paths (/health, /api/health, /auth/*) accessible without auth
- request.state.user properly set for authenticated requests
## Code Quality
✅ Well-structured with clear separation of concerns
✅ Comprehensive error handling
✅ Proper security practices (JWT verification, no sensitive data in errors)
✅ Good test coverage (31 new tests for auth middleware)
✅ All existing tests updated to use authentication

## Implementation Complete
### Changes Made
1. **Created auth middleware** (backend/middleware/auth_middleware.py:1-108):
- verify_token() function to decode and validate JWT tokens
- is_excluded_path() function to check if path is excluded from auth
- AuthMiddleware class that integrates with FastAPI middleware stack
- Excluded paths: /auth/* (prefix), /health, /api/health (exact)
- Returns 401 for missing/invalid/expired tokens
- Sets request.state.user with decoded token payload
2. **Registered middleware in main.py** (backend/main.py:36,459-460):
- Added AuthMiddleware import
- Registered in correct order: RequestID -> Auth -> Logging -> CORS
- Updated middleware comments to reflect new order
3. **Added PyJWT dependency** (backend/requirements.txt:13)
4. **Created test utilities** (backend/tests/conftest.py):
- create_valid_token() helper for generating test tokens
- AuthenticatedTestClient wrapper that auto-adds auth cookies
5. **Updated existing tests** to use authentication
6. **Created comprehensive test suite** (backend/tests/test_auth_middleware.py):
- 31 tests covering all acceptance criteria
### Verification
- All 319 tests passing
- Auth middleware properly blocks unauthenticated requests with 401
- Health and auth endpoints accessible without authentication
- Valid JWT tokens allow access to protected routes
- request.state.user available in route handlers
