feat: messaging tab — messages, templates, draft reply (#74)

Merges feature/messaging-tab into main.

Features:
- Migration 008: messages + message_templates tables with 4 built-in templates
- API endpoints: CRUD for messages and templates, draft-reply (BYOK tier gate), approve
- PUT /api/messages/{id} for draft body persistence
- Pinia store (messaging.ts) with full action set
- MessageLogModal: log calls and in-person meetings with backdated timestamps
- MessageTemplateModal: apply (with token substitution + highlight), create, edit
- MessagingView: two-panel job list + UNION timeline (contacts + messages), Osprey easter egg
- Router: /messages route, /contacts redirect, nav renamed Messages
- Integration test suite (8 tests, 766 total passing)
- CRITICAL fix: _get_effective_tier() no longer trusts X-CF-Tier client header
