Merge pull request 'Release: promote development → master (old Android WebView support + unsupported-engine telemetry)' (#178) from development into master

The index.html boot guard now fires a fire-and-forget beacon (POST /telemetry/unsupported)
when it turns a client away on the unsupported-engine screen, so the owner can see — on the
Users dashboard beside "app opens" — how many real clients hit it and on which engines.

- Client: navigator.sendBeacon (fetch fallback) with a localStorage dedup keyed by app version
  + reason + Chromium, so a user reopening the app is one report, not ten.
- Gateway: a new unauthenticated POST /telemetry/unsupported handler (the client never booted,
  so it carries no session), per-IP public-limited and body-capped, mirroring the export-download
  route. It folds the beacon into the OTel counter unsupported_engine_total {reason =
  no_bigint/no_proxy/boot_error/other, chromium}, with reason allow-listed and the Chromium major
  reduced to a bounded range (normalizeUnsupported) so a spoofed beacon cannot inflate the metric
  cardinality; the full user agent is logged, not labelled.
- Caddy: /telemetry/* added to the @gateway matcher (else it falls to the landing catch-all).
- Grafana: two panels on the Scrabble — Users dashboard (by reason, by Chromium major).
- Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md §11.

Tests: recordUnsupportedEngine (metric split), normalizeUnsupported (cardinality bounding), and
the handler route end to end (204 / 405 / counter). go build+vet+test and gofmt clean; ui
check/build/e2e green; the client beacon + dedup verified against a forced hard-gate (BigInt
removed) — one POST, deduped on reopen, correct reason/chromium/version labels.

+           1. Hard gate — if an UNPOLYFILLABLE essential is missing (BigInt for the 64-bit
+              FlatBuffers wire decode, Proxy for Svelte 5 runes) the app cannot run at all: show the
+              unsupported-engine screen (an old Android System WebView, e.g. Chromium 66, is the case
+              this guards) instead of a white screen.
+           2. Soft gate — if only polyfillable es2020+ globals are missing (globalThis,
+              structuredClone, Array.at, …) pull core-js (emitted as polyfills.js) BEFORE the module
+              runs. document.write is deliberate: the only way to inject a parser-blocking <script>
+              guaranteed to run ahead of a deferred module; its argument is a static literal, so no
+              injection surface.
+           3. Reactive net — record any uncaught error/rejection during boot; if the app has not
+              signalled window.__booted within a grace period AND an error fired, show the same
+              screen with the captured cause (covers a bundle that fails to parse, or an unforeseen
+              incompatibility). __booted is set in App.svelte once bootstrap resolves.
