feat(FN-698): add per-project fallback for /api/activity-feed route

- Add dual-source fallback: try CentralCore first, fall back to store.getActivityLog()
- Adapt per-project ActivityLogEntry[] to ActivityFeedEntry[] format with projectId="local"
- Handle CentralCore init failures gracefully without returning 500
- Add comprehensive tests covering central data, empty state, init failure, and query params
- Add JSDoc documenting the fallback strategy and data source priority
