Recipe search card on the AI assistant screen

Add a Recipe search card to /settings/ai: a SearXNG | Brave segmented
control, the SearXNG URL pre-filled from the saved settings, or the Brave
API key shown masked (last four characters) with Replace. The provider,
URL and new key are a draft saved together with PATCH
/api/v1/settings/recipe-search; Test calls the recipe-search test
endpoint and shows "Found N recipes for 'chicken tikka masala'" or the
error.

The leave-without-saving guard moves to page level so it covers both the
AI assistant form and the card; the shell test now renders in a data
router as main.tsx does.
