fix(pwa): clear the dose count earlier releases left on the app icon

Browse Source 
The server set the Home Screen badge only through the clear push sent
for each logged dose, and that push is gone. A device whose last clear
left a count (one forgotten dose, an update in the middle of the day)
kept that number on the icon for good, since iOS never clears a web
app's badge by itself.

The worker now clears the badge once on activate. The badge handling in
the push handler, the unused outstanding-dose counter and the test of a
payload no server sends are removed, and the self-hosting guide no
longer promises the clear push or the badge.

- **Reminders.** Medication doses, mood check-ins, and any other event
the user has enabled, delivered to the installed app even when it is
closed.
- **Taken → clears the reminder.** When you log a dose, the server sends
a silent `type:"clear"` push that closes the still-pending dose-due
reminder for that slot (matched on its stable tag) without showing a
new notification (`public/sw.js`). This is the PWA equivalent of ending
an iOS Live Activity.
- **An app badge for outstanding doses.** The icon on the Home Screen
carries a server-authoritative count of doses still due; logging a dose
decrements it, and a count of zero clears the badge. The count is
computed on the server and reflected by the service worker via the
Badging API (`navigator.setAppBadge`), feature-detected — engines
without it (most desktop Firefox, older Safari) silently no-op.
- **A reminder stays until you act on it.** It stays on screen until it
is tapped or dismissed, or until the next reminder for the same dose
replaces it.

The installed PWA gets reminders, the taken-clears behaviour, and the app

widget. That single feature rides Apple Push Notification service and is
only available through a native iOS build with APNs. Reminders themselves
arrive on both paths; only the Live Activity is APNs-exclusive.

| Your setup | Recommended channel |
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| PWA on Android or desktop | **Web Push** — generate a VAPID keypair, subscribe, done. |
| PWA on an iPhone | **Web Push**, but install the PWA via _Add to Home Screen_ first (iOS 16.4+). Reminders, taken-clears, and the app badge all work; the lock-screen Live Activity needs a native build. |
| You want the native iOS lock-screen Live Activity | Build and sign **your own** iOS app under your own Apple account and wire up **APNs** (paid), with Web Push as a fallback for any non-iOS device. |
| Headless / no browser, or you live in chat | **Telegram** or **ntfy** — neither needs a browser, both are free. ntfy is the most self-host-native; Telegram adds inline reminder action buttons. |
| You already run an automation hub | **Webhook** — POST every event to your own URL and route it however you like. |
| You want reminders in your inbox | **Email** — set the SMTP transport once as the operator; users add their address. |
