Lukas 1302ac821f Fix non-atomic setup persistence across DB contexts (Issue #30)
Implement transactional setup with explicit state machine and crash-safety
to prevent partial commits from leaving inconsistent state.

## Changes

### Core Implementation
1. **settings_repo.py**: Add atomic batch settings write
   - New set_settings_batch() method: writes multiple settings in single
     transaction (BEGIN IMMEDIATE ... COMMIT). Either all settings persist
     or none do, preventing partial state if crash occurs mid-batch.

2. **setup_service.py**: Refactor run_setup() with transactional phases
   - Phase 0: Compute password hash early (before any DB writes) to ensure
     idempotency. Same hash is used throughout retries, preventing divergent
     hashes from bcrypt's random salt.
   - Phase 1 (Bootstrap DB transaction): Set setup_state=in_progress and
     database_path, then commit. First checkpoint for crash detection.
   - Phase 2 (Filesystem): Initialize runtime database (idempotent)
   - Phase 3 (Runtime DB transaction): Batch-write all settings atomically
   - Phase 4 (Bootstrap DB transaction): Set setup_state=complete and
     setup_completed=1. Final commit point.

3. **protocols.py**: Add set_settings_batch to SettingsRepository protocol

### Testing
- Added 6 new transactionality tests covering:
  - State machine transitions (None → in_progress → complete)
  - Password hash idempotency across retries
  - Atomic batch writes (all-or-nothing persistence)
  - Bootstrap DB state tracking
  - Database path propagation to both DBs
  - Recovery on partial failure
- All 18 tests pass (12 existing + 6 new)

### Documentation
- Updated Docs/Architekture.md with new section 6:
  - Setup state machine with state transitions
  - Transaction boundary documentation
  - Password hash idempotency rationale
  - Backward compatibility notes

## Design Decisions

### Why This Approach
- Current code already idempotent via INSERT OR REPLACE, but password
  hash non-idempotency created silent inconsistency risk
- Simpler than multi-state machine: 2 states sufficient for detection
- Maintains backward compatibility (setup_completed key still written)
- Explicit transactions make crash-safety obvious to future maintainers

### Crash Scenarios Now Handled
1. Crash after Phase 1 → detected by setup_state=in_progress on retry
2. Crash after Phase 2 → runtime DB may be partial, safe to retry
3. Crash after Phase 3 → runtime DB rolls back on next connection
4. Crash after Phase 4 → setup_completed detected, skipped
