Make the inbox global instead of per-project

A card either sits in its owner's inbox (project_id AND status_id both NULL)
or belongs to exactly one project with a status in it (both set) -- enforced
by a CHECK constraint, never one without the other. The inbox is global to a
user now, not per-project: cards can move from a project into the inbox and
back into any status column of any project.

Backend
- migrations/009: rebuilds `cards` (SQLite can't relax NOT NULL / add a CHECK
  in place) with a nullable project_id, a new owner_id (cards need direct
  ownership once they can have no project), and the CHECK constraint. Cards
  that had no status (the old per-project inbox) move to the new global inbox.
  status_id's FK is now ON DELETE RESTRICT, not SET NULL -- nulling it alone
  would violate the invariant, and there's no status-delete endpoint anyway.
- CardRepository: "column" is now (owner_id, project_id, status_id); every
  method that dealt with a project's columns is generalised to also cover the
  inbox and cross-project moves (orderColumn, idsInColumn, repack, ...).
- CardController/routes: single-card and ordering routes move to global,
  since a card may have no project to nest them under --
  GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/cards/{id}, PUT /api/cards/order (body now takes
  project_id + status_id, both null for the inbox). New GET/POST
  /api/inbox/cards. PATCH no longer accepts status_id -- moving a card, in or
  out of a project, is exclusively PUT /api/cards/order now. A card created
  directly in a project (POST /api/projects/{id}/cards) lands in its first
  status, since a project card can't have no status.
- Tests: ProjectTest/CardStatusTest updated for the new routes; CardOrderTest
  rewritten with full inbox/cross-project coverage. 57 tests pass.

Frontend
- New stores/inbox.ts (the global inbox) and lib/cardOrder.ts (the shared
  PUT /api/cards/order call, used by both the sidebar and a project's board).
- AppSidebar: an Inbox section under the project list -- a vuedraggable list
  in the same "kanban" drag group as every project's kanban columns, so a
  card drags straight from the sidebar into whichever project is open, or
  back out. (The empty-inbox state needed a real bugfix: it wasn't rendering
  a <draggable> at all, so there was nowhere to drop a card back into an
  empty inbox.) A drop reloads the inbox and, if a project is open, its cards.
- ProjectView's kanban board drops its synthetic Inbox column -- just the
  real statuses now.
- DashboardView simplified to a plain grid of project tiles (name + card
  count); its per-project "New" section is gone, since a project card can no
  longer have no status.
- stores/cards.ts: patch/remove move to the global /api/cards/{id} routes.

Verified end-to-end against the rebuilt container (existing per-project-inbox
cards correctly migrated to the global inbox, 0 invariant violations) and the
dev server via headless Chrome: sidebar inbox -> project A "To do" -> back to
inbox -> project B "Done", full journey confirmed via the API at each step.
