Anonymous Mode — "Park without signing in" on the login screen (with a popup of
what works vs needs a login). Anonymous users browse parking areas from our
mirror, see labels, and start free check-in timers; paying, sessions, and
account screens prompt to sign in. AuthContext gains an 'anonymous' status +
enterAnonymous/requireLogin.
Zone mirror — server gains a `zones` table + public GET /api/zones and admin
POST /api/zones/sync. Signed-in admins push the zones they pull (authed) from
ParkSmarter after each map search, so anonymous users can read areas without a
ParkSmarter login. Map/Scan read the mirror when anonymous.
Also: the free "Check in" button is now always available with a 2h/3h/4h picker
(no longer gated on a prior label) — fixes "couldn't start a timer on a free
zone". CORS probe confirmed ParkSmarter allows any origin but only Content-Type,
so a future PWA can't auth to it — the mirror is what makes anonymous browsing
(and a PWA) possible.

New server/ service classifying zones as free_2h/3h/4h street vs pay_immediate
lots. Public reads; writes require the admin bearer token (timing-safe compare).
@fastify/rate-limit (120/min global, 20/min writes), manual IP denylist +
auto-block on repeated auth failures. SQLite via better-sqlite3. Dockerfile +
compose (loopback-only, mem/cpu capped) + nginx block + README. 9 tests pass.
Deployed live at https://bigbrainparking.mowden.top (behind nginx + certbot).
Not an npm workspace — kept out of the app/CI install to avoid the native dep.
