feat: add file-based admin settings panel at /admin

Settings saved in the panel are written to data/settings.json and
overlaid onto process.env, taking precedence over environment
variables and applying immediately without restart. Enable by setting
ADMIN_PASSWORD; on serverless platforms without persistent disk the
panel degrades to read-only.

 Administrators can configure multiple server-side models that are available to all users without requiring personal API keys. Configure via `AI_MODELS_CONFIG` environment variable (JSON string) or `ai-models.json` file.
 
+### Admin Panel
+
+Instead of hand-editing `.env`, you can manage most server settings (provider keys, model behavior, access codes, quota, features) in a web admin panel:
+
+1. Set the `ADMIN_PASSWORD` environment variable (leave unset to disable the panel).
+2. Visit `/admin` and sign in.
+3. Saved settings are written to `data/settings.json` and apply immediately — no restart needed (a few settings such as Langfuse and DynamoDB are marked "Restart Required").
+
+Precedence: settings saved in the panel override environment variables, which override built-in defaults. Removing a saved value falls back to the environment variable.
+
+Notes:
+
+-   Secrets are stored in plaintext in `data/settings.json` (file mode 600). Keep the file private.
+-   On serverless platforms (Vercel, Cloudflare Workers) there is no persistent disk, so the panel is read-only — configure via environment variables there.
+-   With Docker, the `data/` directory is persisted via the volume in `docker-compose.yml`.
+-   `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` variables are baked in at build time and cannot be changed in the panel.
+
 **Model Requirements**: This task requires strong model capabilities for generating long-form text with strict formatting constraints (draw.io XML). Recommended models include Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-5.1, Gemini 3 Pro, and DeepSeek V3.2/R1.
 
 Note that the `claude` series has been trained on draw.io diagrams with cloud architecture logos like AWS, Azure, GCP. So if you want to create cloud architecture diagrams, this is the best choice.

+### 管理面板
+
+无需手动编辑 `.env`，您可以在 Web 管理面板中管理大部分服务端设置（提供商密钥、模型行为、访问码、配额、功能开关）：
+
+1. 设置 `ADMIN_PASSWORD` 环境变量（不设置则面板禁用）。
+2. 访问 `/admin` 并登录。
+3. 保存的设置会写入 `data/settings.json` 并立即生效，无需重启（少数设置如 Langfuse 和 DynamoDB 标记为"需要重启"）。
+
+优先级：面板中保存的设置覆盖环境变量，环境变量覆盖内置默认值。删除已保存的值会回退到环境变量。
+
+注意事项：
+
+-   密钥以明文形式存储在 `data/settings.json` 中（文件权限 600），请妥善保管该文件。
+-   在无服务器平台（Vercel、Cloudflare Workers）上没有持久化磁盘，面板为只读 — 请改用环境变量配置。
+-   使用 Docker 时，`data/` 目录通过 `docker-compose.yml` 中的卷持久化。
+-   `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` 变量在构建时固化，无法在面板中修改。

+### 管理パネル
+
+`.env` を手動で編集する代わりに、Web 管理パネルでほとんどのサーバー設定（プロバイダーキー、モデル動作、アクセスコード、クォータ、機能）を管理できます：
+
+1. `ADMIN_PASSWORD` 環境変数を設定します（未設定の場合、パネルは無効になります）。
+2. `/admin` にアクセスしてサインインします。
+3. 保存された設定は `data/settings.json` に書き込まれ、即座に反映されます — 再起動は不要です（Langfuse や DynamoDB など一部の設定は「再起動が必要」と表示されます）。
+
+優先順位：パネルで保存された設定は環境変数を上書きし、環境変数は組み込みのデフォルト値を上書きします。保存した値を削除すると環境変数にフォールバックします。
+
+注意事項：
+
+-   シークレットは `data/settings.json` に平文で保存されます（ファイルモード 600）。ファイルの管理にはご注意ください。
+-   サーバーレスプラットフォーム（Vercel、Cloudflare Workers）には永続ディスクがないため、パネルは読み取り専用です — 環境変数で設定してください。
+-   Docker では、`data/` ディレクトリは `docker-compose.yml` のボリュームで永続化されます。
+-   `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` 変数はビルド時に固定されるため、パネルでは変更できません。
