feat(server): scan library on startup by default + README first-run walkthrough
Make a fresh install usable out of the box and document the first-run flow
for the public-facing repo.

- Default scan_on_startup to true (Default() + config.example.yaml, which is
  the live config baked into the image). Previously false, so a fresh stack
  came up with an empty library and no hint to scan. Scans are incremental
  (mtime skip), so the per-restart cost is just a directory walk. Re-point
  the env-override test to exercise the override against the new default.
- README: add a "First run" walkthrough (register -> scan -> integrations ->
  install Android app -> invite users), each grounded in a real route.
- Add docs/screenshots/ with six captures, referenced via width-constrained
  <img> wrapped in a link (shrink inline + click to open full size).
  API token and invite token were cropped/redacted out of the captures
  before commit so no live credential lands in the public history.
