chore: remove dead code, add test infrastructure, update docs

- Delete 3 dead files: use-batch-processor.ts, use-i18n.ts, smart-crop.ts (AI package)
- Remove dead getJobProgress function and unused runPythonScript wrapper
- Remove 6 unused imports across API and web apps
- Remove unused shared types (ImageFormat, AppConfig, ApiError, HealthResponse, JobProgress)
  and constants (SUPPORTED_INPUT_FORMATS/OUTPUT_FORMATS, DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FORMAT)
- Remove unused store method (setOriginalBlobUrl) and clean AI package re-exports
- Add test infrastructure: vitest config, unit/integration/e2e tests, fixtures, screenshots
- Add Docker test infrastructure: Dockerfile.test, docker-compose.test.yml
- Add download_models.py for pre-baking AI model weights in Docker
- Add filename sanitization utility (apps/api/src/lib/filename.ts)
- Update .gitignore to exclude coverage/, *.tsbuildinfo, .superpowers/, test artifacts
- Update .dockerignore to exclude test/coverage/IDE artifacts from builds
- Update docs: remove smart crop from AI docs (uses Sharp directly), update bridge docs

+The TypeScript bridge (`packages/ai/src/bridge.ts`) exposes a single function, `runPythonWithProgress`, that does the following for each AI call:
 
 1. Writes the input image to a temp file in the workspace directory.
 2. Spawns a Python subprocess with the appropriate script and arguments.
-3. Reads stdout for JSON output and stderr for error messages.
-4. Reads the output image from the filesystem.
-5. Cleans up temp files.
+3. Parses JSON progress lines from stderr (e.g. `{"progress": 50, "stage": "Processing..."}`) and forwards them via an `onProgress` callback for real-time SSE streaming.
+4. Reads stdout for JSON output.
+5. Reads the output image from the filesystem.
+6. Cleans up temp files.
 
-If the Python process exits with a non-zero code or writes to stderr, the bridge throws an error with the stderr content. Timeouts are handled at the API route level.
+If the Python process exits with a non-zero code, the bridge extracts a user-friendly error from stderr/stdout and throws. Timeouts default to 5 minutes.
