DottaandPaperclip a67b936885 fix(server): redact invitation bearer paths from HTTP logs (#20343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People join a company through an invitation link. The link carries a
bearer token in its URL path.
> - The HTTP logger removes query secrets and URL user information. It
keeps the path.
> - So invitation bearer tokens reach the HTTP log in the request URL,
the log message, and the referrer header.
> - PR #17848 fixed this, but it did not merge. Since then, #13742
changed the same redactor file.
> - This pull request carries the #17848 commits onto current master.
The original author is kept on both commits.
> - The benefit is that invitation tokens do not stay in HTTP logs. The
chat eval for membership management can then accept a real invitation
safely.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Supersedes #17848 (same commits, rebased onto current master after
#13742).

**What happened?**

The HTTP logger writes invitation bearer tokens to logs. A synthetic
POST to `/api/invites/<token>/accept` puts the token in `req.url`, in
the log message, and in the `Referer`/`Referrer` header record.

**Expected behavior**

Logs keep the invitation route, the method, and the HTTP status. Logs do
not keep the bearer token.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Check out master.
2. Run `server/src/__tests__/logger-invitation-redaction.test.ts` from
this PR.
3. The synthetic token appears in the request URL, the message, and the
referrer. 12 tests fail on master.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Master at the merge base of this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Source server. The tests use a disposable local HTTP listener. They use
no database and no provider.

## What Changed

- Remove the bearer segment from `/api/invites/<token>/...`,
`/invites/<token>/...`, and `/invite/<token>` URLs, including mounted
paths and absolute URLs.
- Apply the same URL policy to `referer` and `referrer` request headers.
- Keep record IDs on the non-token revoke route
`/invites/<inviteId>/revoke` and on company-scoped invite routes.
- Add regression tests through the real HTTP logger for 202, 400 and 500
responses, with both referrer header spellings.
- Original work by @cryppadotta in #17848. This PR only rebases it onto
master.

## Verification

- From `server`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
vitest.config.ts src/__tests__/logger-invitation-redaction.test.ts
src/__tests__/redact-sensitive.test.ts
src/__tests__/http-log-policy.test.ts` — 46 passed.
- With the master `logger.ts` and `redact-sensitive.ts`, the same new
tests fail: 12 failed.
- `http-log-aborted-response`, `cloud-principal-log` and
`setup-token-session` tests pass locally. Some other HTTP-log suites
could not load locally because workspace package builds were missing in
this worktree. CI covers them.

## Risks

- Low risk. Referrer query and fragment values are now removed from
request logs, as they already are for request URLs. This removes some
diagnostic detail to protect secrets.
- A route that uses `/invites/<id>/...` for a non-bearer record ID,
other than `revoke`, now shows `[REDACTED]` in logs for that segment.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), tool use and code
execution, used to rebase and verify. The original change was authored
in #17848.
