Drop the hook-template scheme and other dead weight

hooks/hooks.json was generated from a template by scripts/gen-hooks.mjs. Once every
hook became a command hook that reads hook.secret from $GLANCE_HOME itself, the
template had exactly two placeholders left: {{HOOK_TOKEN}}, which nothing had ever
substituted into anything, and {{APPROVAL_TIMEOUT_SECS}}. Generating a whole file to
compute one number is not a good trade, so the number is now fixed at 125s in the
committed hooks.json and the coupling is enforced in code instead: the daemon clamps
approval.timeoutMs to APPROVAL_MAX_WAIT_MS (90s), which keeps the script inside its
own hook timeout no matter what a hand-edited config.json says. Losing that clamp is
what would actually hurt — a killed script never runs its fail-open path.

Also removed:

- `glance sync-hooks`, `npm run build:hooks`, and hookSecret({create}). The daemon is
  the only thing that should ever mint the secret.
- The ?k= query-string carrier for the hook secret. It existed for hooks that cannot
  set headers; there are none, and a secret in a URL lands in logs and shell history.
- Snapshot.now and SessionView.startedAt, which were written on every snapshot and
  every persist and read by nobody.
- An unused crypto import.

Docs and the e2e suite follow. The suite's ~12 sync-hooks assertions become static
checks on the committed file, plus new ones that hooks.json, APPROVAL_HOOK_TIMEOUT_SECS
and APPROVAL_MAX_WAIT_MS still agree, and that ?k= is refused. 220 checks, all passing.
