Handle the sequential progression of legs within a genlocke. When one leg is completed, the next leg should be started (with a transfer step in between).

## Behavior

### Leg Completion
- When a nuzlocke run that belongs to a genlocke is marked as **completed**:
  1. The leg is marked as completed
  2. If there is a next leg, trigger the **transfer step** (see Transfer UI feature)
  3. After the transfer step, auto-create and start the next leg's NuzlockeRun
  4. If this was the final leg, mark the entire genlocke as **completed**

### Leg Failure
- When a nuzlocke run that belongs to a genlocke is marked as **failed** (total party wipe):
  - The genlocke itself is marked as **failed**
  - No further legs are started
  - The overview page reflects the failure

### Run Status Integration
- The existing run completion/failure flow needs to check if the run belongs to a genlocke
- If it does, trigger the genlocke-specific progression logic
- The run page should show context about which genlocke/leg this run belongs to (e.g., "Leg 3 of My Genlocke")

## Backend
- Extend run status update endpoint to trigger genlocke progression when applicable
- `POST /api/v1/genlockes/{id}/legs/{leg_id}/advance` — or handle automatically when run status changes
- Need to track genlocke status: active (a leg is in progress), completed (all legs done), failed (a leg was failed)

## Frontend
- When completing a run that belongs to a genlocke, show a genlocke-aware completion modal instead of the standard one
- Show "Leg X of Y" context on the run page header when the run is part of a genlocke
- After completion, redirect to the transfer step (or to the genlocke overview if it was the final leg)

## Checklist
- [x] Add backend logic to detect when a completed/failed run belongs to a genlocke (query GenlockeLeg by run_id)
- [x] On run completion: update GenlockeLeg status, determine if there's a next leg
- [x] On run failure: mark the genlocke as failed, prevent further leg creation
- [x] On final leg completion: mark the genlocke as completed
- [x] Implement `POST /api/v1/genlockes/{id}/legs/{leg_order}/advance` endpoint to create the next leg's run
- [x] Add genlocke context to the run detail API response (genlocke name, leg number, total legs) when the run belongs to a genlocke
- [x] Update the frontend run page header to show "Leg X of Y — {Genlocke Name}" when applicable
- [x] Update the run completion flow on the frontend to detect genlocke membership and redirect to transfer step instead of the standard completion screen
- [ ] Handle edge case: what happens if a genlocke run is manually deleted?
