feat(frontend): post collected samples to /api/v1/reports (closes #53 )

A Reporter class beside AppState POSTs a JSON report to the same-origin /api/v1/reports every reportInterval (default 60s, a new CONFIG value). buildReport is a pure function of host state: it emits each host's unreported, non-paused samples ({t, latency, error}) plus a random per-browser clientId from localStorage, geo null, and an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. A per-host high-water mark keyed on sample time makes every report a delta and only advances on a delivered POST, so a failed send re-sends next interval, bounded by the existing history window. Failure is quiet: one debug-log line per outage, one on recovery, no alert, no tight retry loop, never blocking probing. While paused nothing is sent. vite.config.js proxies /api to 127.0.0.1:8080 so yarn dev exercises the real path against a local netwatch-server. Backend and schema unchanged. Model: opus-4-8
