Same layout, better inbox: avatars on conversation rows, a numeric unread
badge (kept live by the socket handler), primary-tinted timestamps for unread
rows and softer hover states. In the thread: day separators
(Today/Yesterday/date), consecutive same-sender messages within 5 minutes
grouped with one sender label + one timestamp and tightened corners, and a
"Start a conversation" button on the empty state.

Add conversations/participants/messages tables, a participant-scoped REST
API (/api/conversations) and a Socket.io server (session-authenticated
handshake; per-user + per-conversation rooms) sharing the HTTP port. New
messages broadcast live and create per-recipient notifications. Also lands
the notifications table + service + routes (used by the message flow). The
Messages page is rewritten: live threads, unread state, and a compose
dialog to start a conversation with a clinic member.
