feat: pulse generator edges on data gen + New & Changed Data dashboard

Generated data is now visible flowing into the source systems on the Data
Flow graph: a manual "Generate data" burst (and the continuous live loop)
stamps a last_tick, and a new generator_active() helper lights up the
generator -> postgres/mysql/mongodb/cassandra edges for ~12s. Neo4j stays
dark since the live generator does not write to it.

Redesigned the Changes tab into a "New & Changed Data" dashboard driven by
the live CDC stream: animated KPI cards (new/updated/deleted + throughput),
a change-volume area chart, an operation-mix donut, per-system and
top-table breakdown bars, plus the existing filterable change feed.
