refactor(api): refactor API module with route definitions and response utilities

Restructure the core API module to improve clarity, consistency, and
maintainability:

- Introduce `defineApiRoutes()` helper for declarative route definitions
  with built-in config validation at startup
- Add `apiSuccess()` / `apiError()` response utilities; enforce their
  use across all handlers (core and modules)
- Move auth enforcement to route definitions (`auth: 'public' | 'user' |
  'admin'`), removing manual auth checks from handlers
- Extract core routes into `core-routes.js`; router now has no knowledge
  of specific features
- Rename `nx-route.js` to `route-handler.js` and update package.json
  export accordingly
- Update ARCHITECTURE.md to reflect new API conventions and point to
  `src/core/api/README.md` for details

+# API Framework
+
+Ce répertoire est un **framework d'API générique**. Il ne connaît aucune feature spécifique — les features s'y enregistrent elles-mêmes. Ajouter une nouvelle route ne nécessite jamais de modifier `router.js`.
+
+---
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+src/core/api/
+├── index.js           Exports publics (routeRequest, requireAuth, apiSuccess, defineApiRoutes…)
+├── router.js          Orchestration : rate limit, CSRF, auth, dispatch
+├── route-handler.js   Intégration Next.js App Router (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH)
+├── define.js          defineApiRoutes() — validateur de définitions de routes
+├── respond.js         apiSuccess() / apiError() — utilitaires de réponse
+├── core-routes.js     Index des routes built-in (seul fichier à toucher pour un nouveau handler core)
+└── health.js          GET /zen/api/health
+
+src/features/auth/api.js     Routes /zen/api/users/* (vivent avec la feature auth)
+src/core/storage/api.js      Routes /zen/api/storage/** (vivent avec le module storage)
+```
+
+Les routes vivent **avec leur feature**, pas dans le framework. `src/core/api/` ne contient que l'infrastructure.
+
+---
+
+## Cycle de vie d'une requête
+
+```
+route-handler.js (GET / POST / PUT / DELETE / PATCH)
+  └─→ routeRequest(request, path)
+        ├─ Rate limit (IP, sauf GET /health)
+        ├─ CSRF (méthodes state-mutating uniquement)
+        └─ Boucle sur toutes les routes (core d'abord, modules ensuite)
+             ├─ matchRoute(pattern, path)   — exact, :param, /**
+             ├─ Auth enforcement (depuis la définition de la route)
+             │    'admin' → requireAdmin()  — session dans context.session
+             │    'user'  → requireAuth()   — session dans context.session
+             │    'public'→ aucun           — context.session = undefined
+             └─ handler(request, params, context)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Niveaux d'auth
+
+| Niveau | Qui peut appeler | `context.session` |
+|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| `'public'` | Tout le monde, sans cookie | `undefined` |
+| `'user'` | Utilisateur avec une session valide | `{ user: { id, email, name, role, … } }` |
+| `'admin'` | Utilisateur admin (`role === 'admin'`) | `{ user: { id, email, name, role: 'admin', … } }` |
+
+L'auth est **toujours déclarée dans la définition de route**, jamais dans le handler.
+
+---
+
+## Ajouter des routes à une feature existante
+
+Créer un fichier `api.js` dans le répertoire de la feature et exporter `routes` :
+
+```js
+// src/features/myfeature/api.js
+import { defineApiRoutes } from '../../core/api/define.js';
+import { apiSuccess, apiError } from '../../core/api/respond.js';
+
+async function handleGetSettings(_request, _params, _context) {
+  return apiSuccess({ theme: 'light' });
+}
+
+async function handleUpdateSettings(request, _params, { session }) {
+  const body = await request.json();
+  // ... validation + update ...
+  return apiSuccess({ success: true, message: 'Settings updated' });
+}
+
+export const routes = defineApiRoutes([
+  { path: '/settings', method: 'GET', handler: handleGetSettings,    auth: 'user'  },
+  { path: '/settings', method: 'PUT', handler: handleUpdateSettings,  auth: 'admin' },
+]);
+```
+
+Puis enregistrer dans `core-routes.js` (la seule ligne à ajouter) :
+
+```js
+import { routes as settingsRoutes } from '../../features/myfeature/api.js';
+
+export function getCoreRoutes() {
+  return [
+    ...healthRoutes,
+    ...usersRoutes,
+    ...storageRoutes,
+    ...settingsRoutes,   // ← ajout
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+**C'est tout.** Les routes sont disponibles à `GET /zen/api/settings` et `PUT /zen/api/settings`.
+
+---
+
+## Ajouter des routes depuis un module
+
+Les modules définissent leurs routes dans leur propre `api.js` — le système de découverte les charge automatiquement. Aucune modification dans `src/core/api/` n'est nécessaire.
+
+```js
+// src/modules/mymodule/api.js
+import { defineApiRoutes } from '@zen/core/api';
+
+export default {
+  routes: defineApiRoutes([
+    { path: '/admin/mymodule/items', method: 'GET',  handler: handleList,   auth: 'admin'  },
+    { path: '/mymodule/:slug',       method: 'GET',  handler: handlePublic, auth: 'public' },
+  ])
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Signature des handlers
+
+```js
+async function handleSomething(request, params, context) {
+  // request  — objet Request Next.js
+  // params   — paramètres extraits du chemin { id: '42', … }
+  //            Pour les routes wildcard (/storage/**) : params.wildcard
+  // context  — { session? } — session présente si auth !== 'public'
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Utilitaires de réponse
+
+Toujours utiliser `apiSuccess` et `apiError` pour que l'intention soit explicite.
+
+```js
+import { apiSuccess, apiError } from '../../core/api/respond.js';
+
+// Succès — GET
+return apiSuccess({ user: { id, email, name } });
+
+// Succès — mutation (avec confirmation pour le frontend)
+return apiSuccess({ success: true, user: updatedUser, message: 'Profil mis à jour' });
+
+// Erreur
+return apiError('Not Found',    'Utilisateur introuvable');
+return apiError('Bad Request',  'Le nom est requis');
+return apiError('Forbidden',    'Accès refusé');
+```
+
+Codes d'erreur reconnus par `getStatusCode()` → HTTP status :
+
+| Code | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| `'Unauthorized'` | 401 |
+| `'Admin access required'` | 403 |
+| `'Forbidden'` | 403 |
+| `'Not Found'` | 404 |
+| `'Bad Request'` | 400 |
+| `'Too Many Requests'` | 429 |
+| `'Internal Server Error'` | 500 |
+
+---
+
+## defineApiRoutes()
+
+Valide les définitions de routes à l'import (au démarrage). Une erreur de configuration lève immédiatement une `TypeError` avec un message précis.
+
+Champs requis par route :
+
+| Champ | Type | Valeurs valides |
+|-------|------|-----------------|
+| `path` | `string` | Commence par `/`. Supporte `:param` et `/**` en fin |
+| `method` | `string` | `GET` \| `POST` \| `PUT` \| `PATCH` \| `DELETE` |
+| `handler` | `Function` | Signature : `(request, params, context) => Promise<Object>` |
+| `auth` | `string` | `'public'` \| `'user'` \| `'admin'` |
+
+---
+
+## Note — handler storage
+
+Le handler storage (`src/core/storage/api.js`) est déclaré `auth: 'public'` mais effectue sa propre validation d'accès en interne, basée sur le chemin du fichier :
+
+- **Prefixes publics** (déclarés via `storagePublicPrefixes` dans chaque module) → aucune session requise
+- **`/users/{userId}/…`** → session requise ; l'utilisateur ne peut accéder qu'à ses propres fichiers (sauf admin)
+- **`/organizations/…`** → admin uniquement
+- **`/posts/…`** (non couverts par un prefix public) → admin uniquement
+- **Tout autre chemin** → refusé
+
+---
+
+## Compatibilité des modules existants
+
+Les handlers de modules existants avec la signature `(request, params)` continuent de fonctionner — JavaScript ignore les arguments supplémentaires non utilisés.
