Subject: [PATCH] feat(chat): add env-gated SSE chat route
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Returns 404 unless ENABLE_CHAT=true. No authentication yet — must stay
disabled in production until phase 4.

+ * POST /api/chat — streams an answer as Server-Sent Events.
+ *
+ * Route Handlers use the Web Request/Response API, so streaming is a
+ * plain ReadableStream in a Response. POST is never cached.
+ *
+ * GATED: returns 404 unless ENABLE_CHAT=true. There is no authentication
+ * on this route — it reads every site's financials and spends LLM
+ * credits. Do not enable it in production until phase 4 adds auth.
