"Email PO to vendor" (issue #14) relies on PdfService fetching
/api/po/<id>/export?...&svc=<token> WITHOUT a user session, authenticating
with a `svc` token that matches PDF_SERVICE_TOKEN. The route handler validates
that token, but the auth middleware runs first and its matcher doesn't exempt
the export route — so every unauthenticated fetch was redirected to /login
(307) and the svc bypass never executed. Net effect: the feature could never
render a real PDF on any deployed env, even with the service configured.
Fix: middleware now lets exactly `/api/po/<id>/export` through when its `svc`
query param matches `process.env.PDF_SERVICE_TOKEN` (the route handler still
re-validates it — defense in depth). Everything else stays auth-gated. The
match lives in a dependency-free, edge-safe, unit-tested helper
(lib/pdf-export-auth.ts); middleware already reads server env at runtime via
auth()/NEXTAUTH_SECRET, so reading PDF_SERVICE_TOKEN there is consistent.
Verified on a running build: correct svc + real PO -> 200, correct svc + bogus
PO -> 404 (handler ran), wrong/no svc -> 307 (still gated). 324 unit tests
green; tsc clean.
