ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 1b4d681ad0 Broadcast profile updates so member lists stay live (no reload needed)
Another user's new display name or avatar didn't show up until you
reloaded -- update_profile/upload_avatar/remove_avatar never told
anyone. Same root cause and fix shape as #26 (room_added): the
frontend's already-fetched member list had no way to hear about a
change, since nothing ever pushed one.

Reuses the existing per-room broadcast channel (not the per-user one
#26 added, since this only matters for rooms the affected user shares
with someone currently looking at them) -- publishes member_updated to
every room the user belongs to; ChatShellPage refetches members when
it arrives for the currently open room.

Verified end-to-end in the browser: one user's room-info member list
updated live when another user changed their display name from a
separate session, no reload.

DS Chat frontend (Phase 1)

React + Vite PWA. Login, room list, and chat views wired to the backend's REST API and /ws/chat WebSocket endpoint. See ../README.md and ../backend/README.md for full local setup.

Dev

npm install
npm run dev

The dev server proxies /api and /ws to http://localhost:8000 (see vite.config.ts), so the backend must be running for anything beyond the login page to work.

Build

npm run build

Generates the PWA manifest and service worker via vite-plugin-pwa into dist/.
