Start Jotai Migration (#17893)

## Recoil → Jotai progressive migration: infrastructure +
ChipFieldDisplay

### Benchmark

In the beginning, there was no hope:

/>

Then the hope was reborn

/>



### Approach

We introduce a **V2 state management layer** backed by Jotai that
mirrors the existing Recoil API, enabling component-by-component
migration without a big-bang rewrite.

#### V2 API (Jotai-backed, Recoil-ergonomic)

- `createStateV2` / `createFamilyStateV2` — drop-in replacements for
`createState` / `createFamilyState`, returning wrapper types over Jotai
atoms
- `useRecoilValueV2`, `useRecoilStateV2`, `useFamilyRecoilValueV2`, etc.
— thin wrappers around Jotai's `useAtomValue` / `useAtom` / `useSetAtom`
- A shared `jotaiStore` (via `createStore()`) passed to a
`<JotaiProvider>` wrapping `<RecoilRoot>`, also accessible imperatively
for dual-writes

#### Dual-write bridge for progressive migration

For state shared between migrated and non-migrated components, we use
**dual-write**: writers update both the Recoil atom and the Jotai V2
atom (via `jotaiStore.set()`). This avoids sync components or extra
subscriptions.

Write sites updated: `useUpsertRecordsInStore`, `useSetRecordTableData`,
`ListenRecordUpdatesEffect`, `RecordShowEffect`,
`useLoadRecordIndexStates`, `useUpdateObjectViewOptions`.

#### First migration: ChipFieldDisplay render path

- `useChipFieldDisplay` → reads `recordStoreFamilyStateV2` via
`useFamilyRecoilValueV2` (was `useRecoilValue(recordStoreFamilyState)`)
- `RecordChip` → reads `recordIndexOpenRecordInStateV2` via
`useRecoilValueV2` (was `useRecoilValue(recordIndexOpenRecordInState)`)
- `Avatar` (twenty-ui) and event handlers (`useOpenRecordInCommandMenu`)
left on Recoil — not on the render path / in a different package

#### Pattern for migrating additional state

1. Create V2 atom: `createStateV2` or `createFamilyStateV2`
2. Add `jotaiStore.set(v2Atom, value)` at each write site
3. Switch readers to `useRecoilValueV2(v2Atom)`
4. Once all readers are migrated, remove the Recoil atom and dual-writes

#### Why not jotai-recoil-adapter?

Evaluated
[jotai-recoil-adapter](https://github.com/clockelliptic/jotai-recoil-adapter)
— not production-ready (21 open issues, no React 19, forces providerless
mode, missing types). We built a purpose-built thin layer instead.
