feat: expand ingredient-alias seed list to ~137 entries, ignore accents in name matching (v0.86.0)

Ingredient-alias matching (pantry, can-cook, auto-deduct, shopping-list generation) now covers common bilingual EN/FR ingredients across all 8 grocery categories, up from ~10 staples.

Also: matching now ignores accents as well as case (NFD-normalize + strip combining marks) in both the alias resolver (lib/ingredient-match.ts) and the older name-fallback matcher (pantry-shopping-match.ts) — "café"/"Café"/"cafe" and "Épinard"/"epinard" all recognize as the same ingredient without needing every accent variant manually listed as an alias.

List always renders all 9 category sections (8 `GROCERY_CATEGORIES` + Other) as collapsible groups, even empty ones — not just categories that currently have items — and items can be dragged between sections (dnd-kit `useDraggable`/`useDroppable`, cross-category drop only; no within-category manual reorder since pantry items have no `sortOrder` column to persist one). An "Auto-categorize" action (same `guessAisle` heuristic as the shopping list) fills in categories for uncategorized items in one click.

 | Merge duplicate pantry items (new 2026-07-24, relaxed same day) | Exists | One-shot cleanup for pre-existing pantry rows that are the same ingredient under different names (added before alias matching existed) — groups by resolved ingredient key **alone** (unit is deliberately not part of the grouping key, so two rows merge even with mismatched, missing, or differently-unit'd quantities); sums quantities only when every row in a group has a parseable quantity **and** the same unit, otherwise keeps the first known (quantity, unit) pair rather than guessing. Concatenates notes, keeps the soonest expiry. Manual trigger (a button in the pantry toolbar), not automatic — manual single-item add still always inserts a new row rather than silently merging, since two batches of the same ingredient can have different expiry dates worth tracking separately. | `apps/web/app/api/v1/pantry/merge-duplicates/route.ts` |
 | Auto-deduct pantry on cook | Exists (closed 2026-07-24) | Both UI callers that previously hardcoded `deductFromPantry: false` (`batch-cook-dishes.tsx`, `meal-planner.tsx`) now pass `true`. The new general "Mark cooked" feature (see below) additionally exposes it as a per-cook checkbox, default checked, rather than a silent always-on. Matching now goes through the ingredient-alias resolver, not a raw name string compare. | `apps/web/app/api/v1/recipes/[id]/cooked/route.ts`, `apps/web/components/recipe/batch-cook-dishes.tsx`, `apps/web/components/meal-plan/meal-planner.tsx` |
