feat(settings): CEO display name is configurable, Renzo hardcode removed (#612)

The header chip and the Settings User Info card rendered a literal 'Renzo'.
The name now lives in the system_settings store under ceo_name (validated:
trimmed, non-empty, max 60 chars) with the same client-served default the
transcript-retention card uses, editable inline from the User Info card.
Agent prompts already refer to 'the CEO' generically, so no prompt rewiring;
the two agent-facing RAG docs drop the name too. License/CLA copyright is
untouched.
