v0.7.1: in-app password change, custom labels, always-on folders

- Settings -> Account: change your own password (current + new), session
  preserved via update_session_auth_hash.
- Custom labels: per-user palette in Settings -> Labels; apply/remove from a
  message's ... menu (menu stays open, checkmark = applied). Labels are unified
  with tags; chip colours sync to the global TagColor. New Label model +
  migration 0017; POST /a/{id}/label (session, owner-scoped, palette-validated).
- Sidebar Keep/Deleted folders are now always shown; count badge only when
  non-empty. Updates the stale 'hide when empty' note in CLAUDE.md.

 - Exception to the above: an artifact can be explicitly opted into public sharing (per-artifact, owner-toggled from the feed UI) via a high-entropy `share_token`, served unauthenticated at `GET /s/{share_token}`. Not exposed via the ingest API yet — UI-only. Turning sharing off immediately invalidates the old link. Images embedded in a shared artifact are also served unauthenticated while it's shared, so inline content doesn't break for a link recipient.
 - User accounts can be created from Settings → Users (superuser-only in-app page) or via Django admin. Regular users are not staff and cannot access `/admin/`. Creating a user via Settings → Users also issues their API token immediately, shown once.
 - `TagColor` (label color overrides) stays global/shared across all users.
-- Deleting an artifact is a **soft-delete to Trash** (`deleted_at`), not a hard removal — recoverable via the "Deleted" sidebar folder (undelete), off-quota and eviction-protected while trashed, and purged permanently via "Empty Trash". `DELETE /api/artifacts/{id}` is soft too (idempotent); trashed artifacts are hidden from all API reads. A **Keep** sidebar folder is a view over `is_kept`. Both folders hide when empty. Trash auto-purges after a ~3-day retention window via a cron-less background thread triggered by deletes (`AGENTFEED_ASYNC_PURGE`, on by default); "Empty Trash" purges immediately.
