[AGENT-TASK] Implement referral reward loop — +20% conversion

[Nexussyn]

🎯 Objective

Build a referral system that awards 5 free credits per successful referral conversion.

📋 Scope

When user A refers user B:

1. User B signs up and makes their first paid call
2. User A automatically receives 5 free credits
3. Event is logged in system_events with type referral_conversion
4. Both users see a notification

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• SQL: referral_codes table (code, owner_id, uses, credits_awarded)
• Function process_referral(referral_code, new_user_id)
• Credits correctly added to referrer's balance
• Event logged in system_events
• Idempotent — same referral can't be used twice by same user
• Tests covering happy path + duplicate prevention

📤 Expected Output

• migrations/add_referral_system.sql
• src/growth/referral.ts
• tests/referral.test.ts

💰 Reward
