Pull request overview

Implements volunteer access lifecycle management (approve with optional expiry, extend/renew access), wiring frontend UI flows to backend endpoints and adding supporting backend tests/config tweaks.

Changes:

• Frontend: add approve/extend modals with expiry/no-expiry options; add “Renew Access” flow and hook for extending a volunteer’s access_expires_at.
• Backend: enrich volunteer-application list responses with linked volunteer user data (user_id/expiry/days_remaining) and support setting access_expires_at when approving an application; add volunteer-stats warning_days.
• Tooling/robustness: dev server host binding, docker-compose cleanup, API/items list guards, .env ignore, and updated frontend tests for new endpoints/hooks.
