feat: implement modular data import system with TypingMind support

- Create `/modules/data/` architecture with vendor registry pattern
- Implement core import pipeline with validation, transformation, and conflict resolution
- Add lineage tracking with SHA-256 file hashing for re-import detection
- Implement TypingMind vendor with relaxed Zod schemas
- Create multi-step UX flow: Parse → Validate → Confirm → Import → Results
- Add ID conflict resolution with auto-rename strategy
- Support both string and array message content formats
- Integrate TypingMind import button into ImportChats.tsx

Architecture highlights:
- Extensible vendor system for future import sources
- Comprehensive warning/error reporting
- Provenance tracking in conversation metadata
- ISO to Unix timestamp conversion
- Documentation of unsupported features

Closes #886

+# TypingMind Import - Unsupported Features
+
+This document lists features from TypingMind exports that are not currently supported in Big-AGI import.
+
+## Currently Unsupported
+
+### 1. User Prompts / Custom Instructions
+- **TypingMind Feature**: Custom user prompts and instructions
+- **Status**: Not imported
+- **Workaround**: Manually recreate in Big-AGI settings or personas
+- **Future**: May be mapped to Big-AGI personas system
+
+### 2. User Characters / Personas
+- **TypingMind Feature**: User-created characters with custom personalities
+- **Status**: Not imported
+- **Workaround**: Manually recreate using Big-AGI personas feature
+- **Future**: Should map to Big-AGI personas system
+
+### 3. Folder Hierarchy
+- **TypingMind Feature**: Nested folder organization
+- **Status**: Folder IDs are preserved in metadata but not displayed
+- **Workaround**: Folder references are stored and can be used for future organization
+- **Future**: Will be mapped to Big-AGI folder system
+
+### 4. Model Preferences
+- **TypingMind Feature**: Per-chat model selection
+- **Status**: Model information is preserved in metadata but not applied
+- **Workaround**: Manually select models in Big-AGI
+- **Future**: May restore model preferences
+
+### 5. Attachments / Images
+- **TypingMind Feature**: Image and file attachments in messages
+- **Status**: Image URLs are lost in content normalization
+- **Workaround**: Images must be re-uploaded
+- **Future**: Should support image reference preservation
+
+### 6. Message Metadata
+- **TypingMind Feature**: Token counts, costs, timing data
+- **Status**: Not preserved
+- **Workaround**: Big-AGI will recalculate token counts
+- **Future**: May preserve historical metadata
+
+## Partially Supported
+
+### 1. Message Content
+- **Text content**: Fully supported
+- **Multi-part content**: Text parts are concatenated
+- **Code blocks**: Preserved as-is
+- **Formatting**: Markdown formatting preserved
+
+### 2. Timestamps
+- **Created timestamps**: Fully supported
+- **Updated timestamps**: Converted to conversation update time
+- **Timezone handling**: Preserved via ISO 8601 format
+
+### 3. Message Roles
+- **User messages**: Fully supported
+- **Assistant messages**: Fully supported
+- **System messages**: Fully supported
+- **Function/tool messages**: Not present in TypingMind exports
+
+## Fully Supported
+
+### 1. Conversations
+- Chat ID preservation
+- Chat titles
+- Creation and update timestamps
+- Message history
+
+### 2. Messages
+- Role (user/assistant/system)
+- Text content
+- Message order
+- UUIDs
+
+### 3. Data Lineage
+- Original file hash tracking
+- Re-import detection
+- Original ID preservation
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+When migrating from TypingMind to Big-AGI:
+
+1. **Export your data** from TypingMind settings
+2. **Review custom prompts** and recreate as Big-AGI personas
+3. **Note folder structure** - consider recreating in Big-AGI
+4. **Import the JSON file** - conversations will be preserved
+5. **Review imported chats** - verify content and organization
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you encounter issues with TypingMind imports:
+
+1. Check that your export file is valid JSON
+2. Ensure you're using the latest TypingMind export format
+3. Review the import warnings and errors
+4. Report issues with sample data (remove sensitive content)
