first cut of promotion web ui

[emp3thy]

Adds basic web UI and the some of the initial panels

---

Note

Medium Risk
Introduces a new Flask-based local web server that reads/writes the SQLite memory.db (approve/reject/edit/retire/demote), plus process-exit shutdown/inactivity logic; mistakes could cause unintended data/status changes or unexpected termination, though exposure is limited to localhost with Origin/Referer checks.

Overview
Adds a new Flask+HTMX management UI (python -m better_memory.ui) that binds to localhost on a random port, writes the discovered URL to $BETTER_MEMORY_HOME/ui.url, and supports /shutdown, /healthz, Origin/Referer enforcement for non-GET, and an inactivity watchdog.

Implements a Pipeline kanban view backed by new read-only SQL query helpers and InsightService updates, enabling UI actions to approve/reject candidates, edit titles/content, retire/demote insights, view linked source observations, and show promotion/merge/consolidation as Phase-stubbed flows. Also vendors static assets/templates/CSS, promotes resolve_home() for cross-module use, adds a GitHub Actions workflow to run tests/ui, and documents manual UI launch in the README.

Expanded promoted card shows broken Promote instead of Demote

Medium Severity

The insight_card route serves both confirmed and promoted insights, but the insight_card_expanded.html template unconditionally renders a "Promote" button and never renders a "Demote" button. When a user clicks a promoted card (from promoted_card_compact.html), it expands into this template showing a "Promote" button that returns a 404 (since insight_promote requires status == "confirmed"), while the "Demote" functionality available on the compact card is lost entirely. The insight_compact_card route correctly distinguishes templates by status, but insight_card does not.
