feat(rcon): allow administrator-defined endpoints

 * **Verify**: Added encrypted, allowlisted administrator RCON connection management with credential-safe audits and a generated Drizzle migration.
 * **Implement**: Added a bounded server-side RCON command console with safe output and error handling; internal-only deployment verification remains pending.
+* **Refine**: Removed deployment-managed RCON endpoint allowlisting so administrators may configure any valid DNS hostname and port, while retaining IP-literal rejection and documenting the outbound-connectivity trust boundary.
+* **Verify**: Confirmed the RCON console uses an authenticated internal ClusterIP deployment with secret-backed credentials and no public RCON exposure.

 # Implementation
 
-The client console invokes an authenticated server action that revalidates the enabled allowlisted connection, decrypts its credential only in the server runtime, and executes one bounded command. The gateway limits each process to one operation per server and eight total operations, applies a five-second end-to-end deadline plus bounded cleanup, sanitizes and truncates output, and records keyed command lifecycle audits without command or response content.
