admin: per-icon phosphor imports, the barrel loads every icon module under vitest

ci's frontend job timed out three page tests at 5s; the runner paid the barrel's ~1500 icon modules on first render. deep imports load only the icons the app uses; local test import time drops by a quarter.

+## [0.0.15] - 2026-08-31
+
+The Activity page's history filters become a toolbar you can actually use. Filters apply as you set them, the client field stops asking you to remember IP addresses, and the whole admin picks up one coherent icon set.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **History filters apply live from a toolbar.** The form-and-Apply-button row is gone. Domain text filters as you type (debounced), result and time are one-click controls, and a custom date range applies as one change. Every filter state is a bookmarkable URL.
+- **The client filter is a picker, not a text field.** It lists the clients the server knows — named, sorted, multi-select — instead of asking for an exact address. Selected clients show as removable chips (first three, then a count), and a query can filter on up to 32 clients at once; the API accepts the same list.
+- **One icon set.** Interface glyphs (dropdown carets, checkbox ticks, the search magnifier, status marks, back arrows) are now Phosphor icons instead of a mix of text characters and hand-drawn shapes.
+- **The admin bundle budget rises from 800,000 to 900,000 bytes.** The client picker, the accessible menu and dialog primitives behind it, and the Phosphor icon components are the arrivals that spend it; the built assets sit at about 840,000 bytes.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Accessibility pass over the admin.** Focus-visible rings on every control, labels wired to their inputs, keyboard-reachable menus and dialogs, and visible text where information previously lived only in hover titles.
+
 ## [0.0.14] - 2026-08-28
 
 Schema changes stop costing you your query history. querylog.db is now version-stamped and migrated in place; the server refuses to start rather than ever reset a healthy file, and the release tooling refuses to ship a schema change that is neither migratable nor explicitly disclosed with recovery steps. Three releases (0.0.6, 0.0.9, 0.0.12) each discarded the log on upgrade; this ends that.
