Branding is already returned by GET /public/settings (the `brand` block:
name/colors/logo/hero/favicon, per-shard from BRAND_*). §8.6 of the Android
plan asks to confirm it — this makes it a first-class part of the contract so
the app's OpenAPI codegen produces typed branding instead of an untyped map.
- Swagger: add Brand + PublicSettings schemas; /public/settings now references
PublicSettings (was additionalProperties:true). Brand documents that asset
fields may be site-relative paths (resolve against the base URL).
- test/publicBrand.test.js locks the brand theming contract the app depends on
(all fields present; BRAND_* defaults; admin site_title/contact_email
overrides; accentInt never leaked).
No behavior change to the response — it already carried `brand`; this types and
guards it.

Expose a small backend identity/version descriptor (§8.4 of the Android plan)
so a client can positively recognize a Runic Gateway backend on first-run and
run a version-mismatch guard, instead of inferring from an incidental shape.
- New config/version.js: { service: 'runic-gateway', api: 'v1', server: <pkg> }.
- GET /public/status now includes a `version` block (the app already calls this
on first-run, so it gets identity + version in one round trip).
- New GET /public/version: a lightweight, DB-free identity endpoint — the
canonical target for the version guard and a cheap liveness check.
- Swagger: PublicVersion schema + version on PublicStatus; /version annotated.
- test/publicVersion.test.js covers the config shape and the DB-free 200.
