feat: mobile touch polish — 44px targets, prevent double-tap zoom (#57)

- Add touch-action:manipulation to all buttons (prevents double-tap zoom)
- Remove tap highlight flash on iOS/mobile browsers
- Minimum 44px touch targets for ops, save, reset buttons on mobile
- Larger main button (48px) for primary click target on mobile
- Wrap ops buttons in 2-column grid on narrow screens
