Addresses code review feedback on PR #48's audio file signature validation. The AAC ADTS validation used bit masking that, while correct, was less explicit than needed for security-critical validation code.
Changes:
(header[1] & 0xf6) === 0xf0with explicit checksheader[1] === 0xf1 || header[1] === 0xf9for MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 AAC ADTS formatsNo functional changes—both implementations match only MPEG-4 (0xF1) and MPEG-2 (0xF9) AAC ADTS headers while avoiding MP3 Layer III patterns.

Summary by cubic
Fixes a security issue where users could bypass file upload checks by spoofing Content-Type or using double extensions. Validation now runs server-side with a strict allowlist and tighter audio signature checks.
Written for commit 6e787d0. Summary will update on new commits.
