Users, groups, permissions, model settings and reasoning display

Four features, plus the schema machinery they needed.

**Schema sync.** The first live instance had data in it, and create_all
only creates missing *tables* -- a new column silently never appeared.
db/migrations.py now diffs the declared models against the database and
ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN for what is missing, deriving a backfill
default from the column type (SQLite refuses a NOT NULL column without
one, and a Python-side `default=dict` cannot be expressed in DDL).
Verified against a copy of the live database: eight changes applied, all
rows preserved, second run a no-op. Renames, drops and retypes are still
manual and say so.

**Permissions.** A flat set of named booleans: an instance baseline
widened by each group the user belongs to. A group grants and never
denies -- with denies, "why can this user not do X" cannot be answered
without simulating every group. Admins bypass entirely, because an admin
can grant it back to themselves in two clicks and pretending otherwise
is theatre. Model *access* is separate: public, or granted to groups.
The picker is not the boundary -- switching a chat to a model you cannot
reach is a 403.

**Model settings.** Ordering, pinned-first, an instance default and a
per-user default, display names, descriptions, capability flags, and
uploaded images. Images are stored and served locally rather than by
URL: a remote URL makes every page render a request to a third party.
Uploads are validated by magic number, not the declared content type,
and stored under a random name. Models with no image get a generated
initial whose hue is derived from the model id, so it is stable.

**Reasoning display.** Streams into its own collapsible block above the
answer, labelled "Thought for 14 seconds", collapsed once finished, and
never replayed as context on the next turn. Two sources: the
reasoning_content delta field, and <think> tags inline in content -- the
latter needs a streaming splitter because the tags arrive split across
chunks. Models emitting no reasoning show nothing, via a :has() rule
rather than JavaScript. Verified against qwen35-9b on llama-swap: 694
reasoning events, 52 answer tokens, cleanly separated.

Two bugs found and fixed while testing:

- A bare `Mapped[list]` relationship is treated by SQLAlchemy as a scalar
  and returns None instead of []. It needs the element type.
- FastAPI substitutes the default for an empty form value, so with
  `x: str | None = Form(None)` a submitted `x=` is indistinguishable from
  an absent field. That silently broke clearing a system prompt or a
  temperature. update_chat now reads the raw form and checks key presence.

143 tests, ruff clean.

"""Permission vocabulary and resolution.
The model is deliberately small: a flat set of named booleans, granted by an
instance-wide baseline and widened by group membership. Permissions are a union
across groups -- being in a second group can only ever grant more, never take
away. That is the behaviour people expect, and the alternative (a deny that
wins) makes "why can this user not do X" unanswerable without simulating every
group.
Administrators bypass the whole thing. There is no permission that can be
withheld from an admin, because an admin can grant it back to themselves in two
clicks; pretending otherwise would be theatre.
Model *access* is separate and lives in models_visible_to(): a permission says
what a user may do, model access says which models they may do it with.
