feat(privacy): surface LLM data-egress destination to users

Transparency indicator (frontend audit rank 11): a notice in the AI surface
telling users their prompts/data are sent to the configured provider, and that
non-local providers are third-party services. Does not change data flow — the
full fix (route egress through arcadia-llm-gateway with redaction) is gated on
that gateway being deployed. Uses universal theme tokens; finance builds clean.
