fix(api): mint owner peer-identity row at mesh creation

Web-first owners had no mesh.member row because the broker only ever
created one on first WS hello (CLI flow). The topic chat page server
component requires that row to issue a dashboard apikey
(issuedByMemberId is a FK to mesh.member), so visiting the chat for a
web-only mesh hit notFound() on the owner's own room.

Forward fix: createMyMesh now generates a fresh ed25519 peer keypair,
inserts a mesh.member row with role=admin and dashboardUserId=userId,
and subscribes the owner to the auto-created #general topic as 'lead'.
The peer secret key is intentionally discarded — web users don't sign
anything in v0.2.0 (no DMs, base64 plaintext on topics). If the same
user later runs the CLI, the broker mints a separate member row from
its own keypair; both work for their respective surfaces.

Backfill: apps/broker/scripts/backfill-owner-members.ts walks every
non-archived mesh whose owner has no member row, generates real
ed25519 keypairs via libsodium, inserts the rows in a transaction,
and subscribes each as 'lead' on #general. Already run against prod
— 13 owner rows minted, ddtest verified end-to-end via playwriter
(send → poll → render round-trip ok).

+/**
+ * One-shot backfill: every active mesh whose owner has no peer-identity
+ * member row gets one minted via a fresh ed25519 keypair. Without this,
+ * web-first owners (who never connected via CLI) can't access the chat
+ * surface — issueDashboardApiKey is a FK to mesh.member, and the topic
+ * page server component's owner branch picks the oldest member row in
+ * the mesh (which is null if none exist).
+ *
+ * Idempotent. Safe to re-run. Each run prints per-mesh status.
+ *
+ * Owner identification: a member is the "owner's row" when its user_id
+ * matches mesh.owner_user_id. The script targets meshes that have zero
+ * such matching rows (regardless of total member count — a mesh with
+ * peers but no owner member also gets a fresh owner row).
+ *
+ * The owner row is also auto-subscribed to #general as 'lead' so the
+ * unread/role accounting matches CLI-flow meshes.
+ *
+ * Usage:
