feat v1.29.0: 'new device' flag with a red dot

- auto devices/light groups appearing after install get a server-side 'new'
  flag (settings.new_device_ids) and a red dot top-right of the icon; opening
  the device's editor clears it for every client
- known_devices baseline seeded silently on first run — upgrades never flood
  the plan with dots; hand-made markers never flagged
- pure diffNewDevices + unit tests; backend schema; smoke_new_device.mjs;
