feat(reasoning): live docling-agent runner + UX polish

Backend — live runner
- New `POST /api/documents/:id/rag` endpoint. Loads `document_json` from
  SQLite, reconstructs the DoclingDocument, wraps the model id in
  `ModelIdentifier(ollama_name=...)`, and calls `agent._rag_loop`
  off-thread (blocking sync call). Returns a `RAGResult` in the shape
  the existing v1 import path already consumes, so the frontend overlay
  is fully reused.
- `_rag_loop` is private upstream; we call it because `run()` wraps the
  answer in a synthetic DoclingDocument and drops the iteration trace.
- Settings: `RAG_ENABLED`, `OLLAMA_HOST`, `RAG_MODEL_ID`. Router mounts
  unconditionally; handler 503s when the flag is off or deps aren't
  installed. `rag_available` surfaced in `/api/health`.
- Maps known docling-agent bugs to readable HTTP errors: 502 with
  "the model couldn't produce a parseable answer" when `_rag_loop`
  raises `IndexError` from `find_json_dicts([])[0]` after 3 + 3
  rejection-sampling retries (model-dependent).
- Tests: 11 cases (flag off, query empty, no analysis, happy path,
  model_id wrap, Ollama env, IndexError → 502, other errors → 500,
  deps missing → 503).

Backend — bug fix
- Default `BATCH_PAGE_SIZE` flipped from `10` to `0` to match the
  dataclass default. The old default silently dropped `document_json`
  (see `domain/services.merge_results`) for any doc > 10 pages, which
  broke the reasoning tunnel. Set `BATCH_PAGE_SIZE>0` explicitly on
  memory-constrained deploys if batching is wanted.

Frontend — runner UX
- `features/reasoning/api.ts:runReasoning()` — POST wrapper.
- `RunReasoningDialog.vue` — query textarea + optional model_id
  override. Blocks close while running, 20-40s loading state,
  synthesises a sidecar-shaped envelope so the panel surfaces query +
  model the same way an imported trace would.
- `ReasoningWorkspace.vue` — primary "Run reasoning" button; "Import
  trace" relegated to ghost secondary.
- Store: `runDialogOpen`, `running`, `setRunning`.

Frontend — answer polish
- Answer rendered through `marked` + DOMPurify (models emit markdown
  lists; `pre-wrap` rendered them as plain "1. …" strings).
- Dedicated answer block with orange border, "ANSWER" label, "Copy"
  button (clipboard + "Copied ✓" feedback).
- IterationCard: drop the duplicate `response` block (the main answer
  is authoritative); style reasons equal to `"fallback"` (docling-agent
  `select_from_failure` placeholder) as italic muted "— no structured
  rationale".

Frontend — node details contents
- Clicking a SectionHeader (or any node with compound children) lists
  its contained elements in `NodeDetailsPanel` under a new "Contents"
  block. Children come from the same `parentMap` used for Cytoscape
  compound parenting (explicit PARENT_OF + synthetic section scope),
  inverted once and cached as a computed.
- Click a child row → pan the viewport to it + swap the selection.

Housekeeping
- `cytoscape-navigator` removed from `package-lock.json` (follow-up
  from the minimap removal in the previous commit).

+"""Reasoning API — live `docling-agent` runner (R&D).
+
+`POST /api/documents/:id/rag` invokes `docling-agent`'s Chunkless RAG loop
+against the stored `DoclingDocument` and returns a `RAGResult` in the same
+shape the v1 import dialog already consumes — so the frontend overlay code
+is fully reused.
+
+Constraints (docling-agent v0.1.0):
+- Backend is hard-wired to Ollama (`setup_local_session` in
+  `docling_agent/agent_models.py`). Set `OLLAMA_HOST` + `RAG_MODEL_ID` in the
+  environment. No OpenAI/WatsonX path without forking upstream.
+- We call the private `_rag_loop` because `DoclingRAGAgent.run()` wraps the
+  answer in a synthetic `DoclingDocument` and never returns the iteration
+  trace. This is brittle — track upstream for a public hook.
+- Sync blocking call offloaded to a thread so we don't stall the event loop.
+  No streaming at this step (see design doc §7 for v2 SSE plan).
