fix(ambient-ui): healthz probe, ServiceAccount, and oauth RBAC (#1621)

## Summary

Fixes the ambient-ui CrashLoopBackOff on the cluster.

- **Healthz route**: Add `/api/healthz` endpoint that bypasses the proxy
middleware, so liveness/readiness probes work behind oauth-proxy
(previously probes hit `/` which returned 401)
- **Probes**: Switch from `GET /` to `GET /api/healthz` on port 3000,
reduce initial delay to 10s
- **ServiceAccount**: Add `ambient-ui` SA to the base deployment (was
using `default` which lacks token review permissions)
- **RBAC**: Add ClusterRoleBinding for `ambient-ui` SA to existing
`ambient-frontend-auth` ClusterRole (tokenreviews +
subjectaccessreviews)
- **SecurityContext**: Add restricted securityContext to oauth-proxy
sidecar container

Already applied live — pod is 2/2 Running with 0 restarts.

## Test plan

- [x] Pod starts 2/2 (verified on cluster)
- [x] oauth-proxy sidecar initializes without RBAC errors
- [ ] CI build passes
- [ ] Route serves the ambient-ui via oauth-proxy

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added a health check endpoint for system monitoring.

* **Security Improvements**
* Enhanced security context for the OAuth proxy with read-only
filesystem, non-root execution, and capability restrictions.
  * Configured RBAC permissions for authentication.
  * Added trusted IP configuration for the OAuth proxy.

* **Infrastructure**
  * Updated health checks to use the new dedicated endpoint.
  * Introduced dedicated service account for the application.
