mealie: lockout 1 hour instead of 24 (R-747, 09 decision 57 — decided by CC unattended, operator may reverse)

mealie locks the ACCOUNT after 5 wrong logins and its login names (admin, changeme@example.com) are public, so a stranger could lock the household out for a day. Measured on 9202 with SECURITY_USER_LOCKOUT_TIME=1: the right password answered 423 for 120 min (the hourly job lifts it after the hour), then 200; a wrong one still 401. Evidence: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/rulings-2026-10-01/C/. CHANGELOG also records today's re-test run and fixes.
