Dan Gentry 5f06dcf464 feat: Add "Expand Project" for bulk AI-powered feature creation
Adds the ability to add multiple features to an existing project through
a natural language conversation with Claude, similar to how initial spec
creation works.

Features:
- New "Expand" button in header (keyboard shortcut: E)
- Full-screen chat interface for describing new features
- Claude reads existing app_spec.txt for context
- Features created directly in database after user approval
- Bulk feature creation endpoint for batch operations

New files:
- .claude/commands/expand-project.md - Claude skill for expansion
- server/services/expand_chat_session.py - Chat session service
- server/routers/expand_project.py - WebSocket endpoint
- ui/src/components/ExpandProjectChat.tsx - Chat UI
- ui/src/components/ExpandProjectModal.tsx - Modal wrapper
- ui/src/hooks/useExpandChat.ts - WebSocket hook

Modified:
- Added POST /bulk endpoint to features router
- Added FeatureBulkCreate schemas
- Integrated Expand button and modal in App.tsx
