EthanHealy01 913601ff03 Consolidate the editor + processor sidebar footers into one component (#7539)
## What

Both sidebars ended in a different bottom section. The editor showed an
account row (avatar, name, settings); the processor showed a "Link
Stirling account" CTA plus a `Settings` nav item and no identity at all.
They are now **one shared `<NavFooter>`** rendering the same rows in
both apps, in this order:

1. the link-account CTA (self-hosted, when unlinked)
2. free credits remaining
3. **Open \<the other app\>**
4. the account row — avatar, name, settings

It's a **single surface** with hairline dividers between rows, not
stacked cards. Rows are assembled as a list, so a row this build doesn't
show (no wallet, no processor access, nothing to link) takes its divider
with it rather than leaving a stray line.

This also fixes the profile-picture/initials desync between the sidebar
and the account settings page.

## Screenshots

Captured with the stubbed Playwright harness at 1600x900, scoped to the
sidebar and auto-cropped to the region that actually changed. Base is
`origin/main`; every state is driven by dummy backend stubs so all the
nav-bar permutations are covered.

The free-credits meter is a cloud-build surface, so the self-hosted
capture can't reach it. Those states come from the new Storybook stories
with dummy wallet data (`Shared/NavFooter`), which is also where the
credit tone bands and the collapsed rail are easiest to review.

## How it's wired

`NavFooter` is purely presentational. Each app resolves its own data
through three `@app/*` seams, so core carries no build-specific gating
and any box whose data is absent is dropped rather than rendered empty.

| Seam | core | cloud / proprietary / saas |
|---|---|---|
| `useFreeCreditsSummary` | `null` — self-hosted editor installs aren't
metered | cloud reads `freeRemaining` / `freeAllowance` off the same
`useWallet()` the Plan page's free meter uses, so the sidebar and Plan
can't disagree |
| `useOtherAppSwitch` | `null` — core ships no processor | gated on
`portalAccess` (`/api/v1/auth/me` in SaaS, the Spring session flag
self-hosted) |
| Link-account CTA | n/a | unchanged conditions — passed in as
`accountExtras`, still only when `linkState === "unlinked"`, still a
no-op in SaaS |

- The processor reads the meter through its own
`@portal/hooks/useFreeCreditsSummary` rather than the editor's `@app`
one. Self-hosted resolves `@app/*` as proprietary → core, where the
cloud wallet hook isn't in the cascade, and the implementation can't
live in `proprietary/` because core/desktop builds ship no portal and
must never resolve `@portal`. Keeping it in `portal/` gets the figure to
the linked self-hosted processor without weakening that rule; it reads
the same `GET /api/v1/payg/wallet` the Usage page's trial meter already
renders, gated on link state and behind the portal's query cache.
`portal-saas/` just re-exports the cloud hook, so both footers share one
fetch.

The processor-access gate previously lived in two near-identical
`AppSwitcher` copies. It moves into `useOtherAppSwitch`, `AppSwitcher`
now reads it too, and the duplicate
`saas/components/shared/AppSwitcher.tsx` is deleted — the logo switcher
and the footer row can no longer disagree about access.

## Profile picture sync

One `useAccountIdentity` hook now backs the editor footer, the processor
footer and the account settings page. Previously settings derived its
initial from `email[0]` while the sidebar used `displayName[0]`, and the
two drew different blue discs. Alongside that, the shared `Avatar`:

- falls back to initials when a picture URL fails to load, instead of
leaving an empty disc
- renders one letter for single-word names (`admin` → "A", not "AD")
- gains an `xl` size so the settings hero disc is the same component

## Notes

- Labelled **"Free credits"** rather than "free monthly credits":
`freeAllowance` is documented as a one-time lifetime grant, not a
monthly reset, so "monthly" would misdescribe the data. Happy to change
if the backend semantics differ from the type comments.

## Testing

- `task frontend:check` and `task frontend:typecheck:all` pass (all 9
build variants).
- 9 new `Shared/NavFooter` stories pass the Chromium + axe story scan;
`frontend:storybook:a11y:changed` reports no regressions.
- Stubbed E2E suite passes, including the `config-button` tour/settings
specs that target the account row. Two failures (`console-clean ›
landing`, `viewer-text-selection › Ctrl+C`) also fail on `origin/main`
locally — they need a backend on :8080 and clipboard permissions.
