feat: Step 11 - 3D Thought Galaxy Visualization

Implements interactive 3D visualization of user's thought network using
React Three Fiber and UMAP dimensionality reduction.

Key components:
- /api/calculate-graph: UMAP projection from 768-D embeddings to 3-D coords
- /galaxy page: UI with "Calculate My Graph" button and 3D canvas
- ThoughtGalaxy component: Interactive R3F scene with nodes and links
- Magnitude tests: Comprehensive test coverage for galaxy features

Technical implementation:
- Uses umap-js for dimensionality reduction (768-D → 3-D)
- React Three Fiber for WebGL 3D rendering
- CameraControls for smooth navigation
- Client-side SurrealDB connection for fetching nodes/links
- Hackathon workaround: API uses root credentials with user DID filtering

Note: Authentication fix applied - API route uses root SurrealDB credentials
with JWT-extracted user DID filtering to maintain security while working
around JWT authentication issues in hackathon timeframe.
