refactor: simplify Studio around persistent jobs and catalog

[gvastethecreator]

Summary

• make Persistent Jobs the only live generation queue and Catalog Entries the only live image model
• collapse duplicate SQLite and fixed-provider registry layers into the production store and explicit built-in adapters
• remove dead browser queue, Force mode, legacy import/recovery/cache paths, pass-through wrappers, and React Scan
• retain the supported workspace snapshot export and all local-first, secret, managed-path, recovery, and HTTP boundaries
• document the ranked cuts, target architecture, proof, and deliberately omitted machinery

Compatibility

No existing HTTP endpoint was removed. /api/jobs summaries add workspaceId, recipeId, and aspectRatio for refresh-safe UI projection. The legacy workspace JSON shape remains available as an explicit export; its unreachable browser import/recovery path is removed.

Proof

• bun install --frozen-lockfile
• bun run check — 2,589 formatted files; 796 lint/type files
• bun run test — 205 files; 791 tests
• bun run build — UI, chunk budgets, server typecheck
• bun run architecture:verify
• bun run providers:verify — 23 audit rows; zero boundary violations
• bun audit — no vulnerabilities
• React Doctor against origin/main — 74 changed React files; no issues
• Chrome browser proof at 1440x900 and 390x844 — persistent jobs open/close/reopen, recent-result previous/next/Escape, no Force/Browser Queue controls, no overflow or console/page/request errors
• platform-native output/reference path fixtures — 13 focused tests pass on the CI-sensitive boundary
