Phase 1: Relational cadence mode (core UX)

A new mode in Kin where you select a person and say "I want to intentionally invest in this relationship." The app then manages a spaced-repetition cadence for them, not just for you.

Add "Invest in this relationship" toggle on PersonDetail — activates a cadence target for the selected person
Cadence type selection: frequency (every X days), deepening (expanding intervals = trust-building), milestone (events/dates), romantic (intimacy-aware timing)
Romantic cadence mode: shorter base intervals, different expanding factor (gentler curve), integrates with intimacy logging toggle, suggests moments that align with romantic context (anniversaries, milestones, quality-time patterns)
The engine from #81 drives the nudge: expanding intervals, lock-in scoring, decay curves — but framed as "recommended touchpoint" not "you're overdue"
Dashboard shows active investments: "You're investing in 4 relationships — Alex is nearing a cadence milestone"
After each interaction, shows next window: "Next check-in with Sarah: ~5 days. Consistent touchpoints here build toward a deeper connection."
Relationship warm-up mode: for reconnection efforts, start with tighter intervals (every 2-3 days) that gradually expand as trust rebuilds
