feat(operator): invite operator → creates user in Authentik

New "Invite operator" button + modal on /operator-team. Replaces the
bounce-to-Authentik flow with an inline invite that creates the user via
the Authentik API and pre-populates our local User doc so they appear
immediately.

services/platform-api/src/integrations/authentik.client.ts:
  - findUserByEmail(): early-conflict check before we attempt the create
  - createUser(): POST /core/users/ with username = email, internal type,
    is_active, attached to the supplied group PKs
  - addUserToGroup(): kept for tenant-member invites later
  - recoveryLink(): tries POST /core/users/{pk}/recovery/, returns
    undefined when no recovery flow is configured on the Authentik brand
    (we soft-fail and the service falls back to setInitialPassword)
  - setInitialPassword(): POST /core/users/{pk}/set_password/. Returns 204
    No Content so we bypass request<T>'s JSON parser and call fetch
    directly with explicit ok check.

services/platform-api/src/users/users.service.ts:
  - inviteOperator(dto, actor) orchestrates: dedup by email →
    findOrCreate Authentik group → create user in group → pre-create
    local User doc with platformAdmin=true so the list reflects them
    immediately → try recovery link → fall back to temp password →
    record platform.user_invited audit event with handoff method.
  - Return type is { subject, userId, link? | tempPassword? } —
    exactly one credential mode set depending on Authentik config.
  - generateTempPassword(): 16-char with at least one upper/lower/digit/
    symbol, shuffled. Confusable chars (I/O/0/1/l) omitted.
  - Cached platform-admin group ID after first lookup.

services/platform-api/src/users/users.controller.ts:
  - POST /users/invite behind OperatorGuard. Calls the service with
    actor + IP from the JWT/request.

apps/operator:
  - server/api/users/invite.post.ts: standard platformApi proxy.
  - components/InviteOperatorModal.vue: 2-step form. Step 1: name +
    email with client-side validation. Step 2: shows whichever
    credential the backend returned — recovery link OR username+
    temp-password — with copy-to-clipboard buttons and a note about
    SMTP/recovery-flow follow-up paths.
  - pages/operator-team.vue: "Invite operator" replaces "Manage in
    Authentik" as the primary action; Authentik link demoted to
    secondary. Refreshes the list on @invited so the new user shows
    up without a manual reload.

Verified end-to-end against real Authentik:
  - Invite created user pk=7, uid=f22f2bb…, group=dezky-platform-admins,
    is_active=true, temp password set. Modal showed both fields with
    copy buttons; operator-team count went 1 → 2 immediately. Audit
    event recorded (platform.user_invited with handoff='temp-password').
  - Recovery link path is preferred but Authentik has no recovery flow
    configured on the default brand. AuthentikClient.recoveryLink()
    soft-fails on the "No recovery flow set." 400, returns undefined,
    and inviteOperator transparently falls back to set_password. Once
    a recovery flow is configured (Authentik admin → Flows), the link
    path becomes active and the temp-password path stops firing
    without any code changes.

Known follow-ups:
  - Configure Authentik recovery flow so the link path activates
    (one-time admin task, not in code)
  - Outbound SMTP wiring (Phase 5/6) → Authentik can email link/temp
    directly; modal stops showing the credential
  - Deactivate / remove operator from inside the app (currently still
    Authentik UI; defensible until proven needed)
  - Tenant-member invite — similar flow but adds to tenant group
    instead, exposed from /users (global users) or tenant detail
