Merge pull request 'perf(web): cache macro images in local PWA (1.1.2)' (#12) from perf/local-image-cache into main

Same fix as the relay: the local PWA re-fetched every macro image and revoked
the blob on each re-render. Cache image URL -> Promise<objectURL> and reuse
across renders (images are immutable per uuid path); add Cache-Control:
immutable on the desktop /api/image response. Verified in a browser: 7
re-renders produced only the initial 3 image fetches, none repeated.
