Use the liquid orb while the model works

[Clondin]

Summary

• replace the CSS thinking dot with the supplied liquid-glass WebGPU animation
• reuse one lazy-loaded shader and shared GPU pipeline across the pinned activity bar, transcript thinking line, and packaged Bot cursor
• keep a CSS fallback for browsers without WebGPU, render one still frame for reduced-motion users, and preserve the existing accessible status text

Validation

• bun run format:check
• bun run lint (passes; 24 existing warnings are outside the touched files)
• bun run --cwd app typecheck
• bun test app/tests app/src/components/channels (106 pass)
• bun run build
• browser verification: WebGPU renderer ready at 2x pixel density, live frames changed, and the preview added no console warnings or errors

Notes

The broad bun test app filter also matches server test filenames containing app. Four database-backed server tests still fail locally because the PostgreSQL role openbot is not installed; the explicitly scoped frontend suite is green.
