Admin/add react context

[ascibisz]

Problem

We were moving really fast to hit the Sept 15 deadline, but now that we have some breathing room, it's a good time to do some re-org and make sure that things are set up in a way that makes sense for our growing code base!

When Joe was helping me debug this issue last week, he noted that we should improve our state management system. Now seems as good a time as any!

Solution

• Started using React Context for state management. So far, I'm just using one context provider and I'm initializing it in PackingInput, and then providing it to all downstream components

Note: functionally, there should be no changes! The site should behave exactly as it did before.

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces React Context for state management to improve the organization of the codebase. The changes refactor existing functionality to use a centralized state management approach without changing user-facing behavior.

• Implements React Context (PackingContext) to manage shared state across components
• Extracts UI components (StatusBar, RecipeForm, GradientStrength) from larger components to improve modularity
• Refactors prop drilling by moving state access to React Context

I will go through this in detail, but imho when establishing a new pattern like adding global state, its best not to have that in the same PR as refactoring components and CSS, because it makes it hard to tell which changes are truly related to the new pattern.
