feat(ui): shared in-canvas modal overlay; migrate About (Plan B)

Start Plan B — replace the daemon's pop-up OS windows with in-canvas
modal overlays so dialogs work identically on native (one main window)
and web (canvas only).

- New `ui::modal::modal(base, content, on_close)`: dims the view behind
  a backdrop that blocks clicks but does NOT dismiss, frames the content,
  and adds a top-right ✕ as the sole close affordance. Sizes to the
  content (no `Fill`), so dialogs shrink to fit.
- view_main stacks the active modal on top, so both run paths show it.
- Migrate About as the pilot: `about_open` bool + AboutOpen/AboutClose
  instead of an OS window; About's view shrinks to content.

Remaining dialogs migrate to the same pattern next. Native + 75 tests OK.
