Add rate limiting dashboard to admin panel

- Enhance GET /admin/rate-limits with per-IP breakdown, 24h throttled
  count, and hourly time-series of rejected requests
- Add _rejected_log deque for time-series tracking of throttled requests
- Add AdminRateLimits React page with auto-refresh (configurable 15s/30s/1m),
  summary cards, throttled-over-time bar chart, endpoint table, per-IP table
- Add TypeScript types (RateLimitStatsResponse) and adminApi.getRateLimits()
- Wire up /admin/rate-limits route and nav link (admin-only)
- Expand unit tests to 10 cases: auth, empty state, per-IP breakdown,
  throttled_24h count, time-series structure, response shape contract

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#1686

 ## P1 -- High Priority
 
-These items address correctness, reliability, and coverage gaps that should be
-resolved before broader production use.
-
-### Resilience
-
-- **`_jobs` dict is in-memory only.** Job state is lost on API restart.
-  Persist job status in PostgreSQL or Redis so async batch results survive
-  restarts.
-
-### Test coverage gaps
-
-- **Export endpoint tests.** The CSV and PDF export endpoints (`/export/`)
-  lack test coverage. Add tests covering auth, success, 404, and edge cases.
-  *(Issue #1655)*
-- **Tracked company admin endpoint tests.** The `/admin/tracked` CRUD
-  endpoints and scheduler integration lack test coverage. *(Issue #1656)*
+No outstanding P1 items. All previously listed items have been completed and
+moved to the Completed section above.

-
-- **Webhook integration tests.** The retry logic, Slack/Discord payload
