nesquena-hermes 759c25655d feat(composer): click pasted/attached image thumbnails to lightbox-zoom them
When pasting screenshots into the composer (especially multiple in
sequence, now possible end-to-end with hermes-webui/hermes-swift-mac
PR #74) the user has no way to verify the right image attached. The
56x56 thumbnail in the chip is fine as a UI affordance but offers no
detail at all. Quote from the request:

  When I hit Cmd+C and save an image to the clipboard and then paste
  the clipboard out, I want to be able to click on any one of those
  uploaded images that's inside the composer bar and have it zoom up
  like a lightbox so I can see the image in full once it's been
  pasted in to the composer input.

The lightbox infrastructure already exists for message-attached
images (static/ui.js:269 _openImgLightbox + the doc-level click
delegate at :298 for .msg-media-img). This PR extends the same
delegate to also fire on .attach-thumb composer chips:

  - Clicking the thumbnail opens the existing image lightbox with the
    blob URL as src and the file name as alt text.
  - Audio/video chips are excluded (they have their own native
    <audio> / <video> controls and don't render an .attach-thumb
    img).
  - SVG thumbnails (.attach-thumb attach-thumb--svg) qualify — they
    are images visually.
  - The chip's x remove button is a sibling, not an ancestor, of the
    thumb — closest('.attach-thumb') from the button returns null,
    so removing still works without lightbox interference.

Also updates static/style.css:
  - cursor: zoom-in on .attach-thumb (was cursor: default — actively
    misleading).
  - Subtle :hover emphasis (brightness 1.05 + scale 1.04, 120ms ease)
    so users discover the affordance before clicking.

5 regression tests in tests/test_composer_chip_lightbox.py pinning:
  - delegate handles .attach-thumb on IMG elements
  - delegate still handles .msg-media-img (no regression)
  - audio/video chips do NOT render an .attach-thumb img
  - cursor:zoom-in declared on the .attach-thumb selector
  - hover emphasis rule present

Browser-verified live on port 8789:
  - addFiles three distinct screenshot files (mimicking three Mac
    sequential pastes) -> 3 chips, 3 thumbs, all distinct.
  - Click thumb #2 -> lightbox opens with the right image, alt text
    matches filename.
  - Click x on chip #2 -> removes that chip, no lightbox.
  - Escape key closes lightbox.

hermes-webui/hermes-swift-mac#74 (unique filename per paste so
sequential pastes actually appear as distinct chips).
