feat(claude): add native request cloaking for non-claude-code clients

integrate claude-cloak functionality to disguise api requests:
- add CloakConfig with mode (auto/always/never) and strict-mode options
- generate fake user_id in claude code format (user_[hex]_account__session_[uuid])
- inject claude code system prompt (configurable strict mode)
- obfuscate sensitive words with zero-width characters
- auto-detect claude code clients via user-agent
