Kpa-clawbot cd470dffbe perf: batch observation fetching to eliminate N+1 API calls on sort change (#586) ...

## Summary

Fixes the N+1 API call pattern when changing observation sort mode on
the packets page. Previously, switching sort to Path or Time fired
individual `/api/packets/{hash}` requests for **every**
multi-observation group without cached children — potentially 100+
concurrent requests.

## Changes

### Backend: Batch observations endpoint
- **New endpoint:** `POST /api/packets/observations` accepts `{"hashes":
["h1", "h2", ...]}` and returns all observations keyed by hash in a
single response
- Capped at 200 hashes per request to prevent abuse
- 4 test cases covering empty input, invalid JSON, too-many-hashes, and
valid requests

### Frontend: Use batch endpoint
- `packets.js` sort change handler now collects all hashes needing
observation data and sends a single POST request instead of N individual
GETs
- Same behavior, single round-trip

## Performance

- **Before:** Changing sort with 100 visible groups → 100 concurrent API
requests, browser connection queueing (6 per host), several seconds of
lag
- **After:** Single POST request regardless of group count, response
time proportional to store lookup (sub-millisecond per hash in memory)

Fixes #389
