[bug\_fix] import cycle not allowed: package a imports package b and package b imports package a

Extract the shared interfaces or small data types into a third package that both a and b can import, or invert the dependency so one package operates on an interface defined by the other. Avoid placing code that both packages need in either of the cycling packages.

Journey Context:
The agent is refactoring auth middleware and user storage. Package auth imports user to load permissions; package user imports auth to check session validity. go build errors with "import cycle not allowed". The agent tries merge-packages but that creates a bloated module. Instead, the agent moves the Session and Permission interfaces into a new package auth/types, has auth and user both import auth/types, and passes interfaces rather than concrete types. The cycle breaks because Go's package graph must be a directed acyclic graph.
