Refactor frontend to hook-based architecture

Extract logic from god components into custom hooks (useAuthCheck,
useConversations, useChat, usePresignedUrl, useAdminUsers, useOIDCAuth).
Eliminate unnecessary useEffects per React guidelines — scroll is now
imperative, isAdmin comes from useAuthCheck instead of a separate fetch.
ConversationList becomes a pure presentational component. Wrap bubble
components in React.memo.
