feat(sync): F6 — stable client_id in Dexie, localStorage as cache

Closes the client_id-inflation bug where every localStorage wipe
spun up a fresh sync identity. Five distinct client_ids accumulated
in mana_sync.sync_changes for a single physical browser over five
days — every wipe made the device's own historical writes look like
"another session" on replay.

Architecture:
- New Dexie v54 table `_clientIdentity` (single row keyed by
  `id='self'`) is the canonical source of the client id.
- `restoreClientIdFromDexie()` runs once at app boot, before
  `createUnifiedSync`. Reconciles Dexie ↔ localStorage in three
  scenarios: Dexie has it (restore localStorage), only localStorage
  has it (canonicalise into Dexie), neither has it (mint + write
  both). Dexie wins on disagreement.
- `getOrCreateClientId()` keeps reading from localStorage
  synchronously — that's the hot path inside push/pull. The async
  reconciliation just makes sure localStorage has the right value
  by the time sync starts.

Survives: clear-site-data, incognito flush, Settings → "delete
browser cache". Does not survive: full IndexedDB reset (intentional
— that's a real device reset).

Plan: docs/plans/sync-field-meta-overhaul.md F6.
