home: empty-list passkey bridge + combine prove-step breathing room (#1139)

An anchor sign-in that resolves a fresh account lands on an empty list with
no hint that the person's spaces may live under their passkey — offer the
ordinary passkey door in place (atomic: nothing changes unless the ceremony
succeeds). Plus the combine screen's prove note gets the same 14px it was
missing above its button.

+🤖 Signed in with Apple or email and found an empty spaces list — but you

+know you have spaces? They probably live with your passkey. The empty list

+now offers the bridge: "Already have spaces? Sign in with your passkey to

+bring them over" runs your passkey right there and lands you back in your

+account. From Sign-in options you can then add Apple or email to it, so

+every way you sign in opens the same account.
