The frontend needs to know if the current user is an admin so it can show/hide the Admin nav link and protect admin routes client-side.

## Checklist

- [ ] Add `is_admin` field to the user response schema (`/api/users/me` endpoint)
- [ ] Update `AuthContext` to fetch `/api/users/me` after login and store `isAdmin` in context
- [ ] Expose `isAdmin` boolean from `useAuth()` hook
- [ ] Handle edge case: user exists in Supabase but not yet in local DB (first login creates user row with `is_admin=false`)

## Files to change

- `backend/src/app/schemas/user.py` or equivalent — add `is_admin` to response
- `backend/src/app/api/users.py` — ensure `/me` returns `is_admin`
- `frontend/src/contexts/AuthContext.tsx` — fetch and store admin status
