feat: opt-in chat bubble layout (closes #336) (#403)

* feat(ui): opt-in chat bubble layout

Closes #336.

Adds a settings toggle that right-aligns user messages and left-aligns
assistant replies. Off by default - the current full-width layout is
friendlier to code blocks and tool output, so bubbles are strictly
opt-in per the maintainer note on the issue.

Wiring follows the existing token-usage / cli-sessions pattern:

- api/config.py: new bubble_layout bool in _SETTINGS_DEFAULTS and
  _SETTINGS_BOOL_KEYS, validated + persisted like the rest.
- static/style.css: .bubble-layout gated selectors using :has() to
  tag msg-rows by .msg-role.user / .msg-role.assistant without any JS
  changes to message creation. User rows get align-self: flex-end,
  max-width: 75%, and a row-reverse header; assistant rows flex-start.
  A 700px media query widens the max to 92% on narrow screens.
- static/index.html: new checkbox with i18n keys next to the existing
  token-usage toggle.
- static/panels.js: loads the setting into the checkbox, saves it
  back, and toggles body.bubble-layout immediately on save.
- static/boot.js: applies the class on initial load so refreshed
  tabs honor the persisted setting without a flash.
- static/i18n.js: English label + description.

Test suite errors are environmental (test server fails to start on
port 8788 on main as well).

* i18n(es): add Spanish translations for bubble_layout setting

* fix+test: boot.js bubble-layout reset on failure; add 22 tests for issue #336

* docs: v0.50.24 release — version badge and CHANGELOG
