fix(storage): enforce strict <=500KB upload guarantee for private bucket

- Harden compression pipeline with iterative quality + dimension reduction
- Throw explicit error if final output still exceeds 500KB bucket limit
- Keep 1080px cap while allowing progressive downscaling to fit constraints
- Update login screen branding comment to car64
