Fix critical bugs and improve features

- Add getSynthesis API endpoint (fixes console error)
- Fix message count display in chat sessions (SQL JOIN)
- Smart notebook deletion with share confirmation
- Auto-trigger synthesis when documents complete
- Regenerate synthesis on document add/delete
- Auto-retry pending background tasks on startup
- Backend session deduplication (10-second window)
- Disable React Query mutation retries
- Disable React Strict Mode
- Clean up old documentation files
