fix(rbac): sales/operational roles see deal alerts; quiet admin-only onboarding probe

UAT findings from the Sales-role functional walkthrough:

F1 — The deal-alert feed (stale interest, hot-lead-silent, EOI unsigned,
signer overdue, reservation-needs-agreement, berth stalled, expense dupes)
was gated on admin.view_audit_log, so salespeople got a 403 on the Alerts
inbox. None of the 9 alert rules are audit/security signals — they're all
operational — so re-gate the list route to interests.view (sales, director,
viewer get it; external residential partners don't) and hide the Alerts
section in the inbox for users without it instead of letting the query 403.

F2 — Non-admins triggered /api/v1/admin/onboarding/status (admin-only) and
ate a 403 in the console. Make useOnboardingStatus strictly opt-in
(enabled: opts.enabled === true) so a transient/stale isSuperAdmin during
permission hydration can't fire the privileged request.

1664 vitest pass; tsc + eslint clean.
