Update constitution: Document simplification and optimization (v1.19.0)

Version: 1.18.0 → 1.19.0 (MINOR: Code simplification and optimization)

Documented Changes:
1. **Unified Loader Function**
   - Combined loadGlobalObjects() + loadGlobalVariableFunctions() → loadGlobalVariables()
   - Single-pass file scanning with immediate categorization
   - More efficient, simpler API

2. **Code Simplification Results**
   - server.js: 258 → 183 lines (29% reduction)
   - proxy.js: 752 → 298 lines (60% reduction)
   - Combined: 596 lines removed (47% overall reduction)

3. **Key Improvements**
   - Named constants for timeouts (TOKEN_EXPIRY_MS, TOKEN_BUFFER_MS)
   - Immutable config merging pattern
   - Natural error bubbling (better stack traces)
   - Production-ready logging (info/error only)
   - Simplified validation logic

Architecture Changes:
- server.js: Unified loader, single-pass scanning, immutable patterns
- proxy.js: Inlined helpers, added constants, removed debug logging

Modified Sections:
- Sync Impact Report: Added v1.19.0 entry with complete change summary
- Section I.V: Updated to reference loadGlobalVariables() instead of separate functions
- Section I.II: Updated helpers.js pattern documentation
- Throughout: Replaced loadGlobalVariableFunctions references

Benefits Documented:
 47% fewer lines to maintain
 Faster execution (single-pass scanning)
 Better debuggability (natural error propagation)
 Improved onboarding (less code to understand)
 Production-ready (appropriate logging)

Rationale:
- Unified loader is simpler and more efficient
- Named constants improve code clarity
- Natural error bubbling provides better diagnostics
- Production logging reduces noise while maintaining observability
- Cleaner code accelerates development and reduces bugs

Sync Impact Report: Sync Impact Report:
Version: 1.18.0 → 1.19.0 (MINOR: Code simplification and optimization)
Modified Principles:
- Section I.V: Updated to document unified loadGlobalVariables() function
- Section I.II: Updated helpers.js pattern to reflect simplified approach
- Overall: Documented 47% reduction in codebase size through systematic simplification
Architecture Changes:
- server.js: Unified loadGlobalObjects() + loadGlobalVariables() → loadGlobalVariables()
- server.js: Single-pass file scanning with immediate categorization
- server.js: Immutable config merging pattern
- server.js: Natural error bubbling (reduced try-catch blocks)
- proxy.js: Inlined JWT creation and token exchange (removed wrapper functions)
- proxy.js: Added named constants (TOKEN_EXPIRY_MS, TOKEN_BUFFER_MS)
- proxy.js: Reduced verbose debug logging (production-ready)
- proxy.js: Natural error handling (removed unnecessary try-catch)
Code Changes:
- server.js: 258 → 234 → 183 lines (29% reduction)
* Combined loader functions into single loadGlobalVariables()
* Simplified loadConfig() with immutable spreading
* Streamlined validateConfig() to single check
* Removed redundant comments and temp variables
- proxy.js: 752 → 493 → 298 lines (60% reduction)
* Auth section: 135 → 62 lines (inlined helpers, added constants)
* RequestQueue: 85 → 39 lines (removed debug logging)
* Drive API: 109 → 52 lines (natural error bubbling)
* Request handling: 124 → 88 lines (simplified comments)
- Combined savings: 596 lines removed (47% overall reduction)
Modified Sections:
- Section I.V: Updated loadGlobalVariables() pattern (unified loader)
- Section I.II: Updated helpers.js documentation for simplified approach
- Throughout: Removed references to separate loadGlobalObjects/loadGlobalVariableFunctions
Rationale:
- Unified loader is simpler API (one function instead of two)
- Single-pass scanning is more efficient
- Named constants improve readability (no magic numbers)
- Production-ready logging (info/error only, removed debug noise)
- Natural error bubbling provides better stack traces
- Cleaner code is easier to maintain and understand
Benefits:
- 47% fewer lines to read, test, and maintain
- Faster execution (single-pass file scanning)
- Better debuggability (natural error propagation)
- Improved onboarding (less code to understand)
- Production-ready (appropriate logging levels)
