release(v1.7.34-alpha): re-seed onboarding cache + rotating login bg + drop re-login zoom

- useOnboarding.ts: when the backend gives a definitive answer
  (true/false, not a null retry failure), re-seed the
  neode_onboarding_complete localStorage flag accordingly. Fixes the
  case where a user clears site data on an already-onboarded node —
  OnboardingWrapper's useVideoBackground computed reads localStorage
  synchronously, so without this re-seed the intro video would fire
  again on /login even though RootRedirect correctly sent them
  straight to /login.
- OnboardingWrapper.vue: login background now rotates through
  bg-intro-1..6 on each /login mount, with the current index
  persisted to localStorage (neode_login_bg_idx) so subsequent
  logouts advance rather than repeat the same image.
- Dashboard.vue: subsequent-login branch drops the 1.2s showZoomIn
  entirely. Only the first dashboard entry after onboarding plays
  the full zoom + glitch reveal; every re-login now just fades in
  with the welcome typing (~300ms).
