/**
 * Shared HTTP Basic-auth gate (STUDIO_AUTH_USER / STUDIO_AUTH_PASS). Returns true when auth passes
 * or isn't configured (open for local / private use). Used by both the proxy middleware and the
 * upload route — the latter is EXCLUDED from the middleware because Next.js caps a request body that
 * passes through middleware at 10 MiB, which truncates large FASTQ uploads; it enforces auth itself.
