+- refactor(keycardai-starlette)!: remove deprecated BearerAuthMiddleware shims (ACC-237) (#109)
+- Removed deprecated BearerAuthMiddleware shims after all consumers migrated to AuthenticationMiddleware + KeycardAuthBackend, eliminating unused auth code. This is a breaking change—imports for BearerAuthMiddleware and verify_bearer_token now fail.
