Subject: [PATCH] fix(app): prevent race conditions in UI initialization and
 upload modal

- Move `initializeUserInterface()` earlier in `app.init()` to ensure button listeners (like Upload) are bound before potentially slow network operations (Access Control, Relay connection) block or delay responsiveness.
- Make `UploadModal.open()` async and await `load()` to ensure the DOM is ready before removing the `hidden` class.
- Stabilize `notification-system.spec.ts` by adding a wait for app settlement.
- Update visual test baselines.
