Implement API Versioning Strategy in the meridian-api folder

[grantfox-oss]

Priority: Medium
Files: src/main.ts, controllers, routes
Description:

• Choose and implement an API versioning strategy (URI versioning recommended)
• Refactor existing endpoints to use versioning (e.g., /api/v1/auth/sign-in)
• Set up the foundation for future API versions
  Acceptance Criteria:
• API versioning is implemented
• Existing functionality remains accessible
• Clear path for future versions is established

[Codex723]

I have experience implementing URI-based API versioning strategies in Node.js/TypeScript backends, refactoring existing routes and controllers to adopt versioned prefixes while maintaining full backward compatibility. I'm ready to set up the v1 foundation in meridian-api cleanly, ensuring existing functionality stays intact and future versions can be introduced without friction.

Hi grantfox-oss, I'd like to take this one.
introduce /api/v1/ URI versioning as the strategy, restructure routes so existing controllers mount under the v1 prefix without behavior changes, and update main.ts's route registration to make it straightforward to add a v2 namespace later without touching v1. I'll keep the refactor mechanical — no logic changes to controllers, just relocating/re-prefixing routes — so the diff stays easy to review and existing functionality keeps working unchanged.
I'll verify all current endpoints remain reachable at their new /api/v1/... paths and document the versioning convention briefly so future endpoints follow the same pattern.
