feat: Zod validation on all API inputs (PRD §5.2)

26 files with Zod schemas, 27 safeParse calls.
All POST/PATCH handlers now validate input:
- Missing required fields → 400 with structured error
- Invalid types (string vs number) → 400
- Out-of-range values (probability >100, negative amounts) → 400
- Valid data still works (behavior preserved)

Pattern: schema.safeParse(await req.json()) → 400 on failure
