swarm-ui: make it installable as a PWA

Closes #4282. mara: "scope looks good" — approving the plan posted
there (manifest + icons + minimal shell-only service worker + iOS meta
tags) and both explicit questions (network-first-with-offline-fallback,
never cache /api/*).

docs/web-ui/design-guide.md's "Layout & viewport" section already
asserted swarm-ui is installable as a PWA — this is what actually backs
it.

- manifest.webmanifest: name/icons/start_url/standalone display, theme
  #cba6f7 / background #1e1e2e matching the mocha --purple/--bg values.
- sw.js: plain JS, not TypeScript — the DOM lib swarm-ui's own tsconfig
  uses and the WebWorker lib a service worker's globals need are
  mutually exclusive in one tsc program, not worth a second tsconfig for
  a self-contained ~100-line file. Scoped to the app shell only, never
  touches /api/* at all, network-first with offline-fallback-to-cache
  (not cache-first) since main.js/main.css are unhashed filenames and a
  cache-first SW would risk wedging an operator on stale JS after a
  deploy.
- index.html: manifest link, theme-color meta, iOS
  apple-mobile-web-app-* tags (Safari ignores the manifest spec).
- main.tsx: feature-detected SW registration.
- branding/hyperhive-maskable.svg: hyperhive.svg's own artwork already
  fills nearly its whole canvas, so a maskable icon needs a padded
  variant or an OS mask crops the outer ring/corner brackets — embeds
  the original via a scaled <image> ref rather than duplicating markup.
- nix/packages/swarm-ui.nix: rasterizes icon-192/512/512-maskable.png
  from the branding SVGs at build time via librsvg, rather than
  checking in static PNGs.

Verified for real: typecheck+build green, and a real headless-chromium
tab driven over CDP confirms the service worker registers and becomes
the active controller, and a simulated-offline reload still serves the
full cached shell rather than a browser error page. nix build .#swarm-ui
also verified green, including the rasterized icon output.
