feat: Add daily baseline payload logic (12:01 AM - 3:00 AM window)

- Replace saveRawPayload with saveDailyBaseline in all handlers
- Full payloads only saved once per day per store during window
- Inventory snapshots still saved every crawl (lightweight tracking)
- Add last_baseline_at column to dispensaries table
- Show baseline status in Per-Store Schedules dashboard
- Display baseline window info (12:01 AM - 3:00 AM) in UI

Reduces storage ~95% for high-frequency stores while maintaining
full audit capability via daily baselines.
