Subject: [PATCH] fix: use appType "custom" for Vite dev server so worktree
 branding is applied

Vite's "spa" appType adds its own SPA fallback middleware that serves
index.html directly, bypassing the custom catch-all route that calls
applyUiBranding(). Changing to "custom" lets our route handle HTML
serving, which injects the worktree-colored favicon and banner meta tags.
