feat(web): charmbracelet-aesthetic tapir spinner with charm palette

Replace the plain ASCII spinner with a Charmbracelet-style TUI panel rendered in
the browser: a dark terminal card holding a rounded purple box (╭─╮╰─╯│) around a
pink block-char tapir (▄▓▀█) with mint eyes (◕ ◕) and a snout that wiggles ∩→∪→~
across three cross-faded frames, plus a lipgloss-style progress bar whose mint
fill grows over a dim track via an 8s CSS clip animation.

Colours come from named palette consts (CharmPurple/Pink/Mint/Cream/Dim) applied
as inline span styles, so the box and CSS share one source of truth. Frames are
built by a small run/line helper that pads each row to a fixed interior width —
an internal test asserts every box row is the same cell width so the border stays
flush. Honours prefers-reduced-motion (static frame + partial bar).

+
+## Stage 1 — multi-user facts (verified 2026-06-03)
+
+### Postgres RLS (ADR-012)
+- **The deployed DSN MUST connect as a non-superuser, non-BYPASSRLS role.** The
+  app uses the `tapir` role (table owner, non-superuser). `FORCE ROW LEVEL
+  SECURITY` is applied on all user-owned tables; a superuser DSN silently bypasses
+  FORCE and isolation is dead in prod. Verify: `SELECT rolsuper FROM pg_roles
+  WHERE rolname = 'tapir'` must return `f`.
+- Scoping is via `set_config('tapir.current_user_id', $userID, true)` (transaction-
+  local, auto-resets on commit — never leaks across a pooled connection).
+
+### Per-user YouTube token persistence
+- Stage-1 uses the **file-backed SecretStore** at `TAPIR_SECRETS_FILE=/data/secrets.json`
+  mounted from a **PVC** (`tapir-secrets`, 64Mi, RWO). Tokens survive pod restarts.
+  Upgrading to an ESO-backed per-user SecretStore is backlog (infra#86).
+- Per-user token ref scheme: `youtube/<userID>/refresh_token` (Worker C, ADR-006).
+  The Stage-0 single ref `youtube/refresh_token` is no longer used by `serve`; it
+  remains valid for the CLI `tapir run` (single-user, host-side).
+
+### Web YouTube connect
+- Redirect URI (registered in Google OAuth client, type Web): `https://tapir.d-ma.be/oauth/youtube/callback`.
+- Config env: `TAPIR_YT_CONNECT_REDIRECT_URL=https://tapir.d-ma.be/oauth/youtube/callback`.
+  `TAPIR_YT_CLIENT_ID` / `TAPIR_YT_CLIENT_SECRET` from the Web client (not the Desktop client used for the CLI).
+
+### Identity resolution
+- `user_identities(dex_subject → user_id)` table is **intentionally NOT RLS-enabled**
+  (it's auth plumbing, holds no user data; data isolation is on the user-owned tables).
+  All data access after subject resolution goes through `withUser`.
