feat(ui): Sprint 12 — F8 Spoonacular search (web-search toggle + import)

Sprint 12 wires a "Search the web" toggle on /recipes that hits
Spoonacular’s complexSearch API. Each result has an "Import"
button that pulls the full recipe info (1 point) and writes a
local Recipe row with the right schema fields. Spoonacular
ingredients are upserted into the local Ingredient table via the
existing idempotent logic (mirrors POST /api/ingredients without
the HTTP roundtrip).

No pre-existing WIP files touched. Sprint 12 creates a new
backend/app/api/recipe_search.py router (separate from the WIP
recipes.py) and adds 2 Pydantic models to backend/app/schemas/
__init__.py (the canonical location). The WIP recipes.py is
registered in main.py (lines 54-55) and handles GET /api/recipes,
GET /api/recipes/recommended, GET /api/recipes/{id} — none of
which collide with my new endpoints.

Backend:
- backend/app/api/recipe_search.py (NEW, ~270 lines). 2 endpoints:
  - GET /api/recipes/search?q=&limit= — calls complexSearch with
    addRecipeInformation=true, fillIngredients=true,
    instructionsRequired=true. Returns normalized
    RecipeSearchHit[]. NO info endpoint call (saves 1 pt per
    result; the pre-existing _search_spoonacular calls the info
    endpoint for every result, burning the whole daily quota on a
    10-result search).
  - POST /api/recipes/import — fetches /recipes/{id}/information
    (1 pt), normalizes, upserts ingredients via the existing
    idempotent helper, creates a local Recipe with
    external_source="spoonacular" + external_id +
    is_manually_added=True, returns the new recipe id.
  - Process-wide _points_used counter (module-level singleton +
    threading.Lock). 503 with detail: "spoonacular daily quota
    reached; try again tomorrow" when over 140 (10-pt safety
    margin under the 150-pt free tier). Resets on process restart.
  - 503 with clear "SPOONACULAR_API_KEY not configured" when env
    var unset.
  - Idempotent import: 409 on duplicate (external_source,
    external_id).
- backend/app/config.py — added SPOONACULAR_API_KEY: Optional[str]
  to Settings (was previously read via getattr since extra=ignore).
- backend/app/schemas/__init__.py — added RecipeSearchHit +
  RecipeImportRequest.
- backend/app/main.py:62-63 — registered recipe_search_api.router
  at the /api/recipes prefix. No collision with the WIP.

Frontend:
- frontend/src/api/index.ts — added 5 new methods to
  mealPlannerApi.recipes: search, importRecipe, recommended,
  listIngredients, createIngredient. The last 3 are stubs for
  pre-existing call sites in Pantry/MealDetail/Recommended.tsx
  that were previously hidden by a smaller API surface.
- frontend/src/pages/Recipes.tsx — added searchWeb toggle state
  + importedExternalIds set + webHits query (enabled: searchWeb &&
  debouncedQ.length >= 2) + importMutation (toast on success,
  showApiError on failure) + the toggle button (with
  aria-pressed={searchWeb}) + the web-search panel (<div
  role="region" aria-label="Web recipe search"
  aria-busy={webLoading}>). The panel reuses the existing q +
  handleSearch (300ms debounce) so the local search bar drives
  both. The Import button has a 3-state machine: Import
  (Sparkles) → Importing… (Loader2) → Imported (Check, disabled).
- frontend/src/types/index.ts — added optional ingredient +
  is_optional to RecipeIngredient (for pre-existing MealDetail.tsx
  call sites).

Verified: npm run build green (tsc 0 errors, vite 0 errors).
Bundle: 496.48 → 500.28 kB (+3.8 kB). Backend AST clean on all 4
changed files. Backend pytest skipped (venv on docker-willester
is broken, pre-existing).

Deploy: git pull + docker compose up -d --build backend frontend
(backend has the new router; frontend has the new toggle). No
migration, no new dependencies.
