feat: Migrate design library from Bootstrap/CoreUI to Material UI

[devin-ai-integration]

Summary

This PR migrates the design library from Bootstrap/CoreUI to Material UI (MUI). The migration includes replacing CoreUI components with MUI equivalents across the application's core infrastructure: layout system, navigation, theme management, and key view components (Dashboard, Charts, Widgets, and authentication pages).

Key changes:

• Replaced CoreUI packages with MUI packages (@mui/material, @mui/icons-material, @mui/x-charts, @mui/x-data-grid)
• Created new MUI theme configuration with light/dark mode support
• Migrated layout components (AppHeader → AppBar, AppSidebar → Drawer, etc.)
• Migrated navigation system to use MUI List/ListItem/Collapse
• Migrated Dashboard, Charts, Widgets, Login, Register, and error pages to MUI
• Added PlaceholderView component for component demo pages (base, forms, buttons, notifications, icons, theme)

Updates since last revision

• Fixed CI build failure by migrating DocsLink, DocsExample, and DocsComponents to MUI
• Created PlaceholderView component to replace unmigrated component demo pages
• All routes now render successfully (demo pages show "being migrated" placeholder instead of failing)
• All 6 CI checks now pass (Ubuntu/Windows on Node 16.x/17.x/18.x)
• Tested locally: Dashboard, Charts, theme switching (light/dark), and navigation all work correctly

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• App starts without errors - Run npm install && npm start and verify the app loads at http://localhost:3000
• Theme switching - Test light/dark mode toggle in the header works correctly
• Dashboard rendering - Check that charts, widgets, tables, and progress bars render correctly
• Placeholder pages - Navigate to /base/accordion, /buttons/buttons, etc. and verify they show the placeholder message (not errors)

Recommended test plan:

1. Install dependencies and start the dev server
2. Navigate through sidebar menu items to verify navigation works
3. Toggle between light/dark themes
4. Verify Dashboard charts and widgets render properly

Notes

This migration focuses on the core application shell and primary views. The component demonstration pages (base, buttons, forms, notifications, icons, theme) now display a placeholder message indicating they are being migrated. These can be fully implemented with MUI equivalents in follow-up work if needed.
