can you verify the web interface also works when we package it up and make it part of the distributable python software?

Found the key issue. The `src/convx_ai/web/` directory is missing an `__init__.py`, which means `importlib.resources.files("convx_ai.web")` will fail when the package is installed from a wheel — Python won't recognize it as a subpackage.

Let me verify this is actually broken:

It works in editable mode (dev install) because Python falls back to the source directory. But in a real wheel, `convx_ai.web` without `__init__.py` won't be recognized as a package. Let me build a wheel and inspect it:

The web assets are in the wheel but there's no `__init__.py`. Let me test in a fresh venv to verify whether `importlib.resources.files("convx_ai.web")` actually works when installed:

It works. Python 3.9+ `importlib.resources.files()` supports namespace packages (no `__init__.py` needed). Now let me verify the actual server works end-to-end when installed — serving a real HTML/JS/CSS response:

Everything works correctly when installed from the wheel. Here's the summary:

**Packaging is correct.** When installed:
- `index.html` — served with correct `text/html` content type
- `assets/index-*.js` — served as `text/javascript` (832 KB)
- `assets/index-*.css` — served as `text/css` (50 KB)
- SPA fallback — unknown routes correctly fall back to `index.html`
- `/api/sessions` — API works and returns JSON

One minor note: `index.html` is served as `text/html` without an explicit charset, while the SPA fallback version adds `; charset=utf-8`. That's a minor inconsistency in `_handle_static` (it uses `mimetypes.guess_type` which doesn't add charset) vs the fallback path which hardcodes `text/html; charset=utf-8`. Browsers handle this fine since HTML5 defaults to UTF-8, but worth noting.
