- Moved PostJSONWithTimeout to platform/http
- Created platform/errors package with only types needed by ctxerr. This
way, ctxerr did not need to import fleethttp.
- Made activity bounded context use PostJSONWithTimeout directly
- Removed some activity types from legacy code that were no longer
needed

## Summary
- Clarifies in the **Compensation changes** section
(`handbook/company/communications.md`) that while non-US team members'
compensation is communicated in local currency, it is benchmarked based
on real wages in consideration of both the local currency and USD.
## Changes
- Updated one sentence in the "Compensation changes" subsection under
"Compensation" to replace the previous language ("Non-US Fleeties are
benchmarked in the local currency") with more precise wording that
reflects the dual-currency benchmarking approach.

Root cause: Go's net/http client timeout triggers via two competing code
paths: one produces "context deadline exceeded ..." and the other
"net/http: request canceled ...".

injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements)

- [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results
- [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed
## Database migrations
- [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).
## New Fleet configuration settings
- [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps
If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for
GitOps-enabled settings:
- [ ] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)

supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)

enabled

(see [Must

`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
- [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows
- [ ] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component
to the new version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md))

# Details
This PR updates the output from `fleetctl gitops` and `fleetctl apply`
to use the correct terminology:
* "fleet" instead of "team"
* "report" instead of "query" (where appropriate)
* "for unassigned hosts" in place of "No Team" where possible, and "for
fleet Unassigned" otherwise.
All changes other than tests are in `client.go` and are text-only; no
functional code is changed (and no code relies on the strings besides
tests).

## Testing
- [X] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
I did a `fleetctl generate-gitops` and a `fleetctl gitops` run and saw
the updated logs:
```
[+] would've applied EULA
[+] would've applied certificate authorities
[+] would've applied fleet config
[+] would've applied MDM profiles
[+] would've applied enroll secrets
[+] would've applied 1 report
[+] would've applied 1 software package for fleet 'Unassigned'
[+] would've applied 0 app store apps for fleet 'Unassigned'
[+] would've applied webhook settings for unassigned hosts
[+] would've applied 1 policy
[!] gitops dry run succeeded
```
but I did not go through and try and replicate every log or error
message. I think the best we can do on this one is eyeball the code
changes for mistakes.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Refactor**
* Switched the application logging to Go's standard slog with
context-aware logging, improving structured logs and observability
across services (status, audit, result, integrations).
* Replaced legacy logging implementations and updated runtime wiring to
propagate contextual loggers for more consistent, searchable log output.
* **Tests**
* Updated test suites to use the new slog discard/logger setup.

Potentially resolves#39943. (Needs to be tested; my local Fleet
instance isn't fancy enough to have Firefox addons in software
inventory, so this is just a hunch.)
**Related issue:** Resolves#37802
Attempt to fix Windows FMAs not showing up as available when the
software titles they match to have upgrade codes. Since we don't surface
upgrade codes in the `fleet_maintained_apps` table and matching exactly
by name could miss some cases, this fix uses `team_titles.name LIKE
CONCAT(LEAST(fma.name, fma.unique_identifier), '%')`. Note the LEAST
there is only for the "Box Drive" app which has a longer name than
unique_identifier, and just compares the strings and not their length.
This isn't optimal for performance or correctness, but it only checks
with titles already available to the team as installers so it shouldn't
be terrible. Until upgrade_code is surfaced in the
`fleet_maintained_apps` table this should be sufficient.

Part of the root cause for this issue is this commit:
https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/commit/5136d40e2721eba9e177c24826a7519244ddcea1
In summary, I moved the QueryClient instantiation out of AppWrapper
because it needs to be a stable reference. I realized this was necessary
when manipulating react-query's cache as part of that work.
(I was debugging react-query's cache using **getQueryData** and it was
always returning **undefined** for every entry -- that was fixed by
doing what I described just above).
When QueryClient was re-created on each AppWrapper mount,
refetchOnMount: false had no effect.. there was never cached data to
serve, so useQuery always fetched on every navigation to the host
details page.
After moving it out of AppWrapper, refetchOnMount: false works as
expected and the cached (stale) data is served instead of refetching.
The fix removes the refetchOnMount: false, refetchOnReconnect: false,
and refetchOnWindowFocus: false overrides, restoring react-query's
defaults so data is refreshed on navigation, tab focus, and reconnect.

this updates the mechanism of storing the auth token for a user that is
used for making requests and validating a user session. We change the
storage from local storage to a cookie. This allow a bit more security
and prepares for a future change where we will allow the browser to
handle setting and passing the auth token in the request.
