Phase 4: KI-UI-Steuerung — AI agent UI control via WebSocket

- New ai_ui_control plugin: WS endpoint /ws/ai-ui-control, REST API (POST /command, GET /command/{id}/status, GET /online-users)
- UI-Command-Protocol: 6 command types (navigate, filter, open_contact, modal, tab, settings) with Pydantic schemas
- WebSocket manager: per-user connections, command delivery, feedback storage, stale cleanup
- Frontend useAIUIControl hook: WS client with auto-reconnect, command dispatch, feedback sending
- aiUIControlStore: Zustand store for command state, active modal/tab, pending filter/settings
- AIUIControlIndicator: visual KI indication (Bot icon, toast, pulse animation)
- ContactDetail integration: syncs activeTab and personModalOpen from AI control store
- AppShell integration: useAIUIControl hook + AIUIControlIndicator
- i18n keys for DE/EN
- 18 Vitest tests: command protocol, store actions, feedback, visual indication
- TSC: 0 new errors (only 2 pre-existing Dms.tsx errors)
