Phase 9: onboarding, mobile & accessibility

- First-run welcome on the Campaigns page: what-the-app-is blurb, three feature
  highlights, and one-click "Try the sample campaign" (seedSampleCampaign) plus
  "Start your first campaign".
- Map token palette starts collapsed on small screens so the map gets the width.
- (Reduced-motion is already honoured globally in styles/globals.css.)
