Auth probe retries network failures; lazy context init; CK repair logging

A thrown fetch in the auth probe is a network failure, not a 401 — it
now retries once before treating the user as logged out, and logs the
real cause (FE-15). Theme and privacy state initialize lazily from
localStorage so neither the wrong theme nor unmasked sensitive values
flash on reload (FE-07). The CopilotKit orphan-tool-call repair logs
when it has to skip instead of failing silently (FE-11).
