Ashesh Vashi ccfbd2c457 fix: SESSION_DIGEST_METHOD default to sha256, follow-up review polish
Default SESSION_DIGEST_METHOD from hashlib.sha1 to hashlib.sha256.
HMAC-SHA1 is still cryptographically acceptable for the cookie's
(sid, randval) signature, but SHA-256 is the modern default and aligns
with the file-HMAC header introduced earlier in this branch. The session
file format already invalidates all existing sessions on upgrade (the
new HMAC header is required), so flipping this default at the same time
is a free hardening rather than an additional break.

Test polish from the post-merge hostile review:

* Tighten the "no unsafe deserializer imported" assertion in the four
  cloud-module test files (RDS, Google, BigAnimal, Azure) to a regex
  anchored at line start with a word boundary, so it catches
  `from pickle import dumps, loads`, `import pickle as p`, and indented
  imports — not just bare `import pickle`.

* test_login.py: drop a sid-rotation assertion that would have given
  false confidence. Flask-Paranoid does NOT rotate the session id on
  login (it binds a `_paranoid_token` to UA+IP and validates per
  request), so an `assertNotEqual(pre_sid, post_sid)` would always fail
  for the wrong reason. Comment the limitation in the test for the next
  reviewer; stronger fixation testing is owed as a follow-up.

* docs/proposals: spec line numbers in §4.2 had drifted ~10 lines from
  the implemented branch (helper extraction, etc.); refresh them and
  the audit-summary table to point at HEAD-of-branch lines. Append a
  §1.6 entry enumerating the residual `pickle.loads` callsites in
  sqleditor / schema_diff / bgprocess that PR 7 / Phase 2 will close,
  so future reviewers see the surface.
