Updates ALLOWED_ORIGINS to include all BlackRoad domains, fixing the
"Access denied" error when accessing the Railway deployment.
Changes:
1. backend/app/config.py:33 - Updated default ALLOWED_ORIGINS to include:
- https://blackroad.systems
- https://www.blackroad.systems
- https://os.blackroad.systems
- https://blackroad-operating-system-production.up.railway.app
- http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:8000 (for local dev)
2. backend/.env.example:27 - Updated template with production domains
This ensures Railway deployments work without requiring manual
environment variable configuration. The CORS middleware will now
accept requests from all BlackRoad domains.
Fixes: "Access denied" errors on production deployments
