fix: Complete ProtonBridge email integration with missing templates

- Fix HTML rendering in emails (triple braces for raw HTML in base template)
- Add missing email content templates (project-updates, implementation-notes, governance-discussions)
- Simplify SMTP port detection to respect .env configuration
- Exclude email-templates from CSP validation (inline styles required for email clients)
- Restore EMAIL_FROM to newsletter@agenticgovernance.digital

All templates now exist, emails render correctly, and ProtonBridge integration is complete.
