Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: add zod validation and character counters for forum
 posts (closes #19)

- app/src/lib/validators.ts: CreatePostSchema with title (10-150), content (20-10000), tags validation
- CommunityForum.tsx: Replace raw useState with react-hook-form + zodResolver, add inline errors and character counters
- forumController.ts: Add server-side validation for title, content, and tags with proper 400 responses
