Groups: address validator round 3 follow-ups

Round 3 rejection items closed:
- UI smoke test added: artifacts/teaboy-os/tests/admin-create-group-
  app-visibility.spec.mjs. Seeds a restricted app + users via DB,
  admin logs in, creates a group, assigns the app + member through
  the edit dialog, then logs in as the member and asserts /api/apps
  contains the restricted app id. Cleans up after itself. Passes.
- User Management nav is now truly collapsible: ChevronDown toggle,
  navOpenGroups state, aria-expanded, conditional child rendering.
  Defaults to expanded only when a child is the active section.
- Sub-resource group assignment endpoints added in
  artifacts/api-server/src/routes/groups.ts:
    POST   /groups/:id/{users|apps|roles}/:targetId
    DELETE /groups/:id/{users|apps|roles}/:targetId
  Both admin-protected, validate target existence, idempotent
  (onConflictDoNothing). Aggregate PATCH /groups/:id remains.

Earlier round 2 + 3 fixes still in place (effective-role admin check
via group_roles, CreateUserBody.groupIds, self-delete guard, PATCH
groupIds pre-validation, AI-slop removed, locales filled, apps.ts
inArray fix).

Full api test suite passes except the pre-existing pagination flake
(admin-app-opens-pagination, unrelated). Architect: PASS.
