Blackbox's `/api/chat` now rejects requests whose `validated` field
doesn't match the frontend `tk` token (exported from app.blackbox.ai's
Next.js bundle), returning HTTP 403 even when the session cookie is
valid and the subscription is active. The previous executor sent a
random UUID, which works only until Blackbox enforces the check.
This change:
- Adds `resolveBlackboxValidatedToken()` that returns
`BLACKBOX_WEB_VALIDATED_TOKEN` when set, otherwise falls back to the
legacy random UUID (no regression for users who already work).
- Detects 403 responses whose body indicates a token-specific failure
("invalid validated token", "validation token", etc.) and replaces
the generic "cookie expired" message with explicit guidance to set
BLACKBOX_WEB_VALIDATED_TOKEN. The cookie-expired path is preserved
for non-token 401/403.
- Documents the env var in `.env.example` and
`docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` (env-doc-sync check passes).
Deliberately NOT included: runtime scraping of Blackbox's Next.js
chunks to auto-extract `tk`. That coupling to their bundle hash would
silently break on every frontend deploy — the env override is the
stable path for operators who have already resolved the token.
