fix: address multiple code quality improvements across backend and frontend

Backend fixes:
- Fix JWT sub claim: encode as str(user.id), decode with int() cast (python-jose requirement)
- Replace all deprecated datetime.utcnow() with datetime.now(timezone.utc)
- Replace deprecated FastAPI @app.on_event() with modern lifespan context manager
- Replace deprecated Pydantic class Config with model_config = ConfigDict(...)
- Replace deprecated Pydantic .dict() with .model_dump()
- Fix overly broad except (GmailInjectionError, Exception) → except Exception
- Remove unused GmailInjectionError import
- Fix TokenPayload schema sub field type from int to str

Frontend:
- Create frontend/src/lib/api.ts — API client module with auth, user, mail accounts, processing runs APIs
- Add !frontend/src/lib/ to .gitignore negation

Tests:
- Add 3 new JWT tests (sub string encoding, access token type, refresh token type)
- Update test_token_payload_schema for string sub claim
- All 128 tests pass

 ### Fixed
+- JWT `sub` claim now encoded as string per JWT spec (python-jose rejects integer subjects)
+- `TokenPayload` schema `sub` field type changed from `int` to `str` for consistency
+- Replaced deprecated `datetime.utcnow()` with `datetime.now(timezone.utc)` throughout backend
+- Replaced deprecated FastAPI `@app.on_event()` handlers with modern `lifespan` context manager
+- Replaced deprecated Pydantic `class Config` with `model_config = ConfigDict(...)` in all schemas
+- Replaced deprecated Pydantic `.dict()` with `.model_dump()` in mail account updates
+- Removed overly broad `except (GmailInjectionError, Exception)` in task error handler
 - Bare exception handlers replaced with specific types
 - Open redirect vulnerability in OAuth redirect_uri
 - Default encryption keys security issue

-- [ ] Create `frontend/src/lib/api.ts` — API client using axios
-  - Must export: `authApi`, `mailAccountsApi`, `processingRunsApi`, `userApi`
-  - Must export types: `User`, `MailAccount`, `MailAccountCreate`
-  - 8 files import from `@/lib/api` and will fail to compile without it:
-    `AuthGuard.tsx`, `AddMailAccountModal.tsx`, `authStore.ts`,
-    `login/page.tsx`, `register/page.tsx`, `auth/callback/page.tsx`,
