Task #601: iOS PWA push notifications enablement

PWA + Web Push infra was already fully built (SW, VAPID auto-gen,
subscribe/unsubscribe API, sendPushToUser called from orders/meetings/
notes/replies, iOS-PWA detection hook). The user wasn't getting
lock-screen alerts because iPhone/iPad weren't installed as a PWA —
iOS only delivers Web Push from a Home Screen icon, not a Safari tab.

This commit polishes the iOS install path so the gap is obvious:

1. push-enable-prompt.tsx — Added a dedicated iOS install-steps card
   variant that renders on iPhone/iPad Safari when running outside
   standalone mode. Shows Share → Add to Home Screen → open from icon.
   Independent 14-day dismiss memory from the regular Enable card.

2. notification-settings.tsx — PushToggleRow now detects iOS-non-
   standalone and shows the unsupported_ios_safari hint inline with a
   disabled toggle, instead of teasing an Enable affordance that always
   fails.

3. use-push-subscription.ts — Exported isIosSafariNonStandalone() so
   both surfaces share the detection logic (was private).

4. lib/push.ts (server) — Added info logs in loadVapid() for both the
   env-key and disk-key paths, removed an accidental duplicate disk-read
   block introduced during editing. Now the production redeploy check
   is a one-liner: grep for "VAPID keys loaded" in the api logs.

5. ar.json / en.json — Added notifSettings.push.iosInstall.{title,desc,
   step1,step2,step3} bilingual strings for the new card.

No DB migrations. No deps changed. tx-os tsc passes; api-server tsc
errors are pre-existing (routes/push.ts handler type, font_settings)
and not touched by this change.

Smoke test on real iPhone/iPad still owed (out-of-band — task step #4
is a manual verification on the user's devices after redeploy).
