fix(serve): error handling, CORS, body limit, CAS store reuse

- Global error handler (app.onError → 500 JSON)
- JSON parse validation on POST routes (400)
- CORS restricted to localhost origins
- 1MB body size limit on POST (413)
- CAS store created once per route group, not per-request
- 6 new tests covering all changes

Closes #120
