Re-architect iOS XCUITest suite: per-test isolation + domain organization

Migrate the XCUITest suite off the legacy shared-account model (and the prior Django-style auth assumptions) to a parallel-safe, domain-organized architecture, validated end-to-end against the live Kratos stack. Isolation (parallel-safe by construction): - Core/Fixtures/TestAccount.swift: each test mints its own pre-verified Kratos identity (uit_<domain>_<uuid>@test.honeydue.local), logs in, seeds under its own token, and deletes the identity in teardown (cascading all data + clearing Kratos). No shared testuser; parallel workers no longer race. - AuthenticatedUITestCase rewritten to that model (member surface preserved); adds requiresResidence / seedAccountPreconditions to seed UI-gated data BEFORE login (a fresh account is empty at login). Organization (255 tests preserved, none dropped): - 21 domain suites under Auth/ Onboarding/ Residence/ Task/ Contractor/ Document/ Sharing/ Navigation/ Smoke/ CrossCutting/ E2E/, consistent <Domain>UITests naming. Removes the Suite1..11 / AAA_ / ZZ_ / Tests/Rebuild naming chaos and the overlapping task/residence/auth suites. Runner + test plans: - run_ui_tests.sh: Smoke gate -> Seed -> Parallel(8 workers) -> Sweep. The parallel phase runs the whole target minus phase-managed suites via -skip-testing, so new suites auto-include (no hand-maintained list to drift). Drops the 2-worker cap and Suite6 isolation (isolation made them moot). - HoneyDueUITests.xctestplan skips the 4 phase-managed suites; adds Smoke.xctestplan. Kratos auth fixes folded in (login/verify/reset endpoints removed under Kratos): real Mailpit verification codes replace the obsolete fixed "123456"; teardown deletes Kratos identities; admin-panel login uses the correct seeded password. Build green; isolation, parallelism, and the precondition/sharing migrations validated against the live stack (0 leaked accounts). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
