feat: clear session.user on 401 from any API call (0.35.0)

Adds a single on401 hook in api/client.ts that the session store
installs at module load. Before, the *OrEmpty wrappers caught 401 and
silently returned empty pages — a mid-session expiry left the UI
rendering as "logged in but no bookmarks/collections/etc." until the
user reloaded. With the hook, session.user flips to null on the first
401, so the layout re-renders the login affordance and the *OrEmpty
helpers keep working for genuine anonymous browsing.
