feat(notify): bundled notifications, task watchers, daily summary

- Per-user routing (own mail / own Discord webhook) for task alarms
  (sent at once), shares, completed shared tasks and watched tasks;
  settings as JSON on the user (GET /auth/me, PATCH /auth/settings).
- Everything but alarms is queued and sent as one message per user
  after NOTIFY_DIGEST_MINUTES (default 5); mails now multipart with an
  HTML version, Discord as one embed. Three failed attempts drop it.
- Own changes never notify the actor, except on watched tasks when
  asked for; "paused" stops everything including alarms.
- Task watchers: POST/DELETE /tasks/{id}/watch, isWatching on tasks.
- Daily summary at a chosen time: overdue, today, tomorrow, plus the
  count of the next 7 days; nothing due, nothing sent.
- Migration 7; jobs do not run in the demo.

+### Added
+- Benachrichtigungen pro Ereignis und Kanal: fällige Aufgaben (sofort), Freigabe erhalten, geteilte Aufgabe erledigt, beobachtete Aufgaben – jeweils per eigener E-Mail und/oder eigenem Discord-Webhook. Alles außer fälligen Aufgaben kommt gebündelt (höchstens alle 5 Minuten eine Nachricht, `NOTIFY_DIGEST_MINUTES`), E-Mails jetzt mit HTML-Layout. Eigene Änderungen lösen nichts aus (bei beobachteten Aufgaben zuschaltbar), ein Schalter pausiert alles.
+- Aufgaben beobachten: Knopf im Aufgaben-Detail; jede Änderung daran wird gemeldet. API: `POST/DELETE /tasks/{id}/watch`.
+- Tageszusammenfassung zur selbst gewählten Uhrzeit: überfällige, heutige und morgige Aufgaben mit Uhrzeit, dazu die Anzahl der nächsten 7 Tage; ohne fällige Aufgaben keine Nachricht.
+
 ### Fixed
 - In eigene Notiz umwandeln: Der Link erscheint sofort im Punkt (auch hinter Proxys ohne Live-Verbindung), ohne Konfliktkopien bei gleichzeitigem Weitertippen; die neue Notiz steht sofort in der Seitenleiste. Strg+Z oder „Rückgängig“ im Hinweis holen den Ast zurück und legen die neue Notiz in den Papierkorb.

Den Ast in der Ursprungsnotiz ersetzt der Editor selbst durch `[[Titel]]` (Hashtags bleiben am Link) – als eigene Änderung über die Sync-Engine, damit sie nicht mit ungesendeten Eingaben kollidiert und Strg+Z sie zurücknimmt; dabei legt `/extract/undo` die neue Notiz in den Papierkorb. **Zusammenführen** hängt die Quelle als `h2`-Überschrift mit ihren Punkten als Unterpunkte an die Zielnotiz an (ebenfalls über Operationen, offene Editoren folgen live) und legt die Quelle in den Papierkorb; „Rückgängig“ löscht die Überschrift samt Unterpunkten und stellt die Quelle wieder her.

+## Benachrichtigungen
+
+`internal/api/notify.go`, `internal/storage/notifications.go` (Migration 7). Jede Person wählt pro Ereignisart die Kanäle – eigene E-Mail (Alarm-Adresse, sonst Konto-Adresse) und eigener Discord-Webhook aus den Alarmen –, gespeichert als JSON in `users.notification_settings` (`GET /auth/me`, `PATCH /auth/settings` → `notificationSettings`). Ereignisse: `due` (Fälligkeits-Alarm, sofort über den Alarm-Ticker), `shared` (Notiz, Ordner, Aufgabenliste oder Liste geteilt; bei Gruppen alle Mitglieder), `taskDone` (Aufgabe einer geteilten Liste erledigt), `watched` (jede Änderung an einer beobachteten Aufgabe, `task_watchers`, `POST/DELETE /tasks/{id}/watch`). Alles außer `due` landet in `notification_queue`; ein Job im Minutentakt schickt je Person eine gebündelte Nachricht, sobald das älteste Ereignis `NOTIFY_DIGEST_MINUTES` (Standard 5) alt ist (E-Mail als Text + HTML, Discord als ein Embed mit höchstens 10 Zeilen), nach 3 Fehlversuchen wird verworfen. Eigene Änderungen benachrichtigen nie den Handelnden, außer bei beobachteten Aufgaben mit `includeOwnWatched`. `paused` stoppt alles, auch Alarme. **Tageszusammenfassung:** zur gewählten Uhrzeit (Server-Zeitzone, innerhalb von 30 Minuten, einmal pro Tag) überfällige, heutige und morgige offene Aufgaben samt Anzahl der folgenden 7 Tage; nichts fällig → keine Nachricht. Im Demo-Modus laufen die Jobs nicht.

 ## Link-Vorschau
 
 Punkte mit einer reinen https-Adresse zeigen darüber eine Karte (`LinkPreviewCard`, `lib/linkPreview.ts`). `GET /link-preview?url=` holt die Seite serverseitig mit demselben Schutz wie Webhooks (nur https, keine internen Adressen, Weiterleitungen geprüft), liest `og:*`/`twitter:*`, `<title>`, `description` und das Icon aus dem `<head>` (höchstens 1 MB HTML, Bild 2 MB, Icon 100 KB, kein SVG) und speichert alles in `link_previews` (Migration 6): Erfolg 7 Tage, nichts Brauchbares 1 Tag, nach 30 Tagen gelöscht. Bilder kommen über `GET /link-preview/{key}/image|icon` mit Login. Pro Adresse höchstens 300 Abrufe in 15 Minuten (Antworten aus dem Cache zählen nicht). Ausblenden einer Karte macht aus der Adresse `[Titel](url)` (ein benannter Link hat keine Karte), damit synchronisiert die Wahl mit der Notiz; „Link-Vorschauen anzeigen“ unter Darstellung gilt pro Gerät. Im Demo-Modus aus.
