feat(frontend): hash-based URL navigation for page refresh persistence

Navigation state is now encoded in window.location.hash so refreshing the page (or sharing a URL) restores the current view: #/chat → chat tab, assistant thread #/chat/{threadId} → specific conversation #/memory/{path/to/file} → memory browser with file open #/jobs/{jobId} → job detail view #/routines/{id} → routine detail view #/settings/{subtab} → settings sub-tab (extensions, etc.) #/logs → logs tab Hooked into all navigation functions: switchTab, switchThread, switchToAssistant, createNewThread, readMemoryFile, openJobDetail, closeJobDetail, openRoutineDetail, closeRoutineDetail, switchSettingsSubtab. Thread restore is deferred until loadThreads() completes (async), then the pending thread ID is matched against the loaded thread list. Browser back/forward buttons work via hashchange listener.

+## Google Gemini (OAuth)
+
+Uses Google OAuth with PKCE (S256) for authentication — no API key required.
+On first run, a browser opens for Google account login. Credentials (including
+refresh token) are saved to `~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json` with `0600` permissions.

+All endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Tokens are either:
+- **Env-var tokens** — configured via `GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN` (single-user) at startup
+- **DB-backed tokens** — created via `POST /api/tokens` or `POST /api/admin/users`
+
+DB tokens are SHA-256 hashed at rest; plaintext is returned exactly once at creation time.
+
+Auth is cached in a bounded LRU (1024 entries, 60s TTL). Suspending a user or revoking a token may take up to 60s to take effect.
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| `admin` | Full access to all endpoints |
+| `member` | Self-service profile + own token management only |
+
+Endpoints marked **Admin** return `403 Forbidden` for `member` role.
+
+---
+
+## Admin: Users
+
+### POST /api/admin/users
+
+Create a new user. Returns the user record and a one-time plaintext API token.
+
+**Auth:** Admin
+
+**Request body:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "display_name": "Alice Smith",
+  "email": "[email protected]",
+  "role": "member"
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------|

+
+**Errors:** `404` (user not found), `403` (not admin)

+
+**Cascade:** Deletes from `api_tokens`, `agent_jobs`, `conversations`, `memory_documents`, `routines`, `secrets`, `settings`, `wasm_tools`, and related tables. On PostgreSQL this uses FK cascades; on libSQL it uses explicit deletes.
+
+---
+
+## Admin: Per-User Secrets
+
+Provision secrets on behalf of individual users. The primary use case is an application backend (acting as admin) that configures per-user credentials so each user's IronClaw agent can call back to external services.
+
+Secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using a per-secret HKDF-derived key. Plaintext values are **never returned** by any endpoint — they can only be used by the agent's tool system at runtime.
+
+### PUT /api/admin/users/{user_id}/secrets/{name}
+
+Create or update a secret for the specified user. If a secret with the same name already exists, it is overwritten.
+
+**Auth:** Admin
+
+**Path parameters:**
+
+| Param | Type | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|
+| `user_id` | string | The user's ID |
+| `name` | string | Secret name (normalized to lowercase) |

+```json
+{
+  "value": "sk-live-abc123...",
+  "provider": "my-app-backend",
+  "expires_in_days": 90
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
+|-------|------|----------|-------|
+| `value` | string | yes | The secret value (encrypted at rest, never returned) |
+| `provider` | string | no | Tag for grouping (e.g. `"stripe"`, `"my-app"`) |
+| `expires_in_days` | integer | no | Auto-expire after N days; `null` = never |
+
+**Response:** `200 OK`
+
+```json
+{
+  "user_id": "550e8400-...",
+  "name": "my_app_callback_token",
+  "status": "created"
+}
+```
+
+**Errors:** `400` (missing value), `403` (not admin), `503` (secrets store not available)
+
+**Example — application backend provisioning a callback token:**
+
+```bash
+# Admin creates a user
+curl -X POST https://ironclaw.example.com/api/admin/users \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"display_name": "Alice", "role": "member"}'

+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"value": "per-user-jwt-for-alice", "provider": "my-app"}'

+## Error Format
+
+All error responses return a plain text body with the error message and the corresponding HTTP status code:
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| `400` | Bad request (missing fields, invalid input) |
+| `401` | Missing or invalid bearer token |
+| `403` | Authenticated but insufficient role (member accessing admin endpoint) |
+| `404` | Resource not found |
+| `503` | Database or secrets store not available |
+| `500` | Internal server error |
+
+---
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Secrets Encryption
+
+- **Algorithm:** AES-256-GCM with per-secret HKDF-SHA256 derived keys
+- **Master key:** 32+ bytes, resolved from `SECRETS_MASTER_KEY` env var or OS keychain
+- **Storage format:** `nonce (12B) || ciphertext || tag (16B)` in `encrypted_value` column
+- **Per-secret salt:** 32 random bytes stored alongside the ciphertext
+- **Zero-exposure:** Plaintext never appears in logs, debug output, API responses, or LLM conversations
+
+### Auth Cache
+
+- Bounded LRU cache (1024 entries max)
+- 60-second TTL per entry
+- Suspending a user or revoking a token takes up to 60s to propagate
+
