fix(auth): Prioritize JWT token over trusted origin bypass

When a user logs in and has a Bearer token, use their actual identity
instead of falling back to internal@system. This ensures logged-in
users see their real email in the admin UI.

Order of auth:
1. If Bearer token provided → use JWT/API token (real user identity)
2. If no token → check trusted origins (for API access like WordPress)
3. Otherwise → 401 unauthorized
