Switches `listForUser` from page-offset to cursor (`before` param,
opaque base64 of `{ts, id}`) ordered by `(created_at DESC, id DESC)`
for stable pagination even with simultaneous fan-out inserts.
Returns `{ rows, nextCursor }` instead of a bare array. Loader surfaces
`?before=<cursor>` on a "Load older" link at the bottom of the list,
shown only while `nextCursor !== null`. Default page size 50, capped
at 100. Malformed cursors fall back to "start from top" rather than
400ing — opaque cursors should not be a client validation surface.
Spec drift: delta spec adds three pagination scenarios (cursor pages
forward, tie-stable on identical `created_at`, malformed-cursor
graceful fallback). Design doc gets a new decision section explaining
the cursor choice over page-offset and why we don't compute totals.

Adds the notifications system end-to-end (4 types, payload-versioned
JSONB, SSE-based live unread badge, /notifications page, mark-read API,
fan-out job for activity_published, daily 90-day retention purge).
Bell icon in the navbar with unread badge.
Side-findings from exercising the change:
- Add 6-digit magic code to registration (mirrors login UX, mobile
paste-friendly), with `[Register Magic Link]` console line in dev so
the code is reachable without a real email transport.
- Manual passkey/magic-link toggle on the register form (login already
had it).
- Restrict ALPN to http/1.1 in HTTPS dev so React Router's
singleFetchAction CSRF check (Origin vs. Host) passes — Node doesn't
synthesize Host from h2's :authority. Plain HTTP dev unaffected.
- Followers/Following routes now use the locked-account rule from the
profile route (owner + accepted followers see the list; others 404).
Profile page renders the count chips as plain spans for viewers who
can't see the lists, so private profiles don't surface dead links.

Closes the social loop opened by social-feed: a Pending follower has no
way to know their request was approved, and a follower has no signal at
all that someone they follow just posted. Adds a notifications surface
for three v1 event types — follow_request_approved, follow_received,
activity_published — plus a /notifications page, navbar unread count,
and mark-as-read controls.
Capabilities:
- New: notifications (table, page, badge, generation hooks)
- Modified: social-follows (approve + auto-accept emit)
- Modified: activity-feed (public create fans out)
- Modified: journal-landing (nav entry alongside follow-requests)
Design picks:
- Fan-out-on-write for activity_published (1:N) so /notifications is a
flat single-table query and "mark read" composes trivially. 1:1
events insert directly. Cost ceiling documented at 10k followers ×
50 activities/day = 500k/day, still trivial; revisit only if hot.
- Single notifications table with loose subject_id (no per-type FK);
renderer dereferences by type. Mastodon-style.
- Two distinct nav entries (Follow requests + Notifications). Pending
is "act on this", notifications is "this happened" — different
semantics, kept separate.
- Loader-driven unread count (no real-time channel). Real-time is
deferred.
- 90-day retention for read rows; unread kept indefinitely.
Out of scope: per-type mute preferences, email/push, real-time,
notifications about routes/replies/mentions, federated notifications.
Each tracked as follow-up.
