feat(hooks): consolidate data-fetching patterns with useListData and usePolledData

- Refactor useJails (useJailList.ts) to use useListData with onSuccess for total
- Refactor useBanTrend to use useListData with onSuccess for bucket_size
- Refactor useDashboardCountryData to use useListData with onSuccess for aggregated data
- Refactor useHistory to use useListData with proper abort guard in finally()
- Create usePolledData for single-item endpoints with polling and window focus refetch
- Refactor useServerStatus to use usePolledData for 30s polling + window focus refetch
- Keep useIpHistory with manual pattern (single-item, no list semantics)
- Document deferred refactoring of useJailDetail (depends on T-13 for data/command split)

All data-fetching hooks now follow one of two consistent patterns:
1. useListData: for paginated/list endpoints with refresh semantics
2. usePolledData: for single-item endpoints with polling and focus-refetch

This eliminates code duplication, centralizes abort-guard logic, and enables
consistent fixes across all data-fetching hooks.

Resolves T-12.

-### T-11 · Repositories injected as module references via `cast()` — structural type-safety gap
-
-**Where found:** `backend/app/dependencies.py` — `get_session_repo()`, `get_blocklist_repo()`, `get_settings_repo()`, `get_import_log_repo()`, `get_history_archive_repo()`, `get_geo_cache_repo()`, `get_fail2ban_db_repo()` all return the module itself cast to the Protocol type.
-
-**Why this is needed:** The `cast()` call is a signal that the type system is being overridden. Modules pass Protocol structural checks only because their top-level `async def` functions happen to match the Protocol method signatures. This is fragile — a module rename, a function rename, or an added required parameter will silently pass mypy but fail at runtime.
-
-**Goal:** Repository modules become proper singleton instances, or the dependency providers are acknowledged as module-adapters with explicit documentation.
-
-**What to do (option A — correct):**
-1. Convert each repository module's functions into a class with the same method signatures.
-2. Instantiate singletons at startup and store on `app.state` or as module-level instances.
-3. Update dependency providers to return the instance without `cast()`.
-
-**What to do (option B — minimal):**
-1. Document in each `get_*_repo` provider why the module-as-Protocol pattern is intentional.
-2. Add a CI check (or mypy plugin) that validates structural compatibility doesn't silently break.
-
-**Possible traps and issues:**
-- Option A is a significant refactor affecting all repository call sites.
-- Option B risks the pattern silently breaking in future.
-
-**Docs changes needed:** `Docs/Backend-Development.md` — document repository injection pattern and why it works.
-
-**Doc references:** `Docs/Backend-Development.md`, `backend/app/repositories/protocols.py`

 ### T-12 · Apply `useListData` consistently across all data-fetching hooks
 
 **Where found:** `frontend/src/hooks/useJailList.ts`, `useJailDetail.ts`, `useServerStatus.ts`, `useBanTrend.ts`, `useDashboardCountryData.ts` — all re-implement abort-controller / loading / error state manually. `useListData.ts` exists and is used by `useBlocklists`, `useJailConfigs`, `useActionList`, `useFilterList`.
