Replaced canvas-based recording with the browser Screen Capture API (`getDisplayMedia`)

Features

Screen Capture Recording

• Replaced canvas-based recording with the browser Screen Capture API (`getDisplayMedia`)

• Recording now captures the actual browser tab, ensuring perfect visual consistency between playback and recorded video

• Eliminated ~900 lines of manual canvas drawing code (intro, photo card, avatar, watermark, transport badge)

• Audio is suppressed and cursor is hidden during recording for a clean output

• Tab switching is prevented during capture via `surfaceSwitching: 'exclude'`

Recording UI Improvements

• Menu button and replay controls are hidden during active recording for a distraction-free video

• DOM watermark ("Powered by Locusify") is displayed during recording and naturally captured

• Recording automatically stops 2 seconds after replay completes

Refactor

• Removed `mediabunny` dependency (MP4 via WebCodecs) — no longer needed

• Removed `iconPaths.ts` canvas SVG rendering data — no longer referenced

• Added `recordingActive` state to replay store for centralized recording UI control
