Upload progress: Redis-backed store + flushed SSE + client fallback

The previous in-memory _progress dict + polling SSE handler had a 30s silent
tail after completion. HTTP/2 framing in the proxy chain (Traefik) buffered
the small chunks until the stream closed, so when a transient blip caused
EventSource to reconnect, the server returned 404 and the UI stuck on the
"מתחיל…" placeholder forever. Reproduced live: 445 bytes withheld 31s.

Changes:
  • web/progress_store.py — ProgressStore wraps Redis with TTL (5m), atomic
    GETDEL, dict-like API. Best-effort: Redis errors are logged and swallowed
    so observability outages don't break uploads.
  • web/app.py — _progress is now Redis-backed; every set/get/active/pop is
    awaited. SSE handler emits a heartbeat each tick (forces HTTP/2 flush),
    drops the 30s post-completion sleep, and returns a terminal
    {"status":"unknown"} payload instead of 404 when the task is gone — so
    EventSource closes cleanly instead of reconnect-looping. New _SSE_HEADERS
    set X-Accel-Buffering: no.
  • web-ui useProgress(taskId, caseNumber) — 10s fallback that invalidates
    the case detail if no SSE message arrived; treats "unknown" as terminal
    and triggers a refetch from the source of truth.
  • upload-sheet wires caseNumber through and renders "unknown" as completed.

+"""Redis-backed progress store for upload/processing tasks.
+
+Replaces the previous in-memory `dict[str, dict]` with a persistent store so
+that progress survives container restarts and is observable across replicas.
+
+Why Redis:
+  - Each entry has a natural TTL (we don't want to hold task state forever).
+  - SSE consumers in different processes can read the same state.
+  - Atomic GETDEL avoids races when cleaning up after a stream closes.
+
+Public API mirrors the old dict semantics where possible:
+  await store.set(task_id, {...})           # write + extend TTL
+  await store.get(task_id)                  # → dict | None
+  await store.pop(task_id)                  # → dict | None  (atomic)
+  await store.active()                      # → list[(task_id, dict)] for non-terminal entries
+  await store.exists(task_id)               # → bool
+
+All entries auto-expire after ``ttl_seconds`` (default 5 min). Terminal
+states (``completed``/``failed``) are kept for the same TTL so a late
+subscriber can still observe the result instead of getting a 404.
