lukasandClaude Opus 5.5 caed8543ea Avatars: a cached avatar or miss failed on every later request
The shared Redis client decodes replies as UTF-8 text, but the avatar cache
holds raw image bytes and a b"none" miss marker: an image could not be read
back at all, and a miss came back as str and crashed on .partition(b"\n").
Only a sender's first request worked; after that, a 500. The cache now goes
through a binary-safe client, get_redis_bytes().

"""Sender avatars — Gravatar then the sender domain's favicon (SPEC §9.1).
The browser only ever calls ``GET /api/avatar`` (same origin), so a sender can never
see the user's IP or read activity: the server does the outbound fetch under the
§10.6 SSRF guard and caches the result (both hits and misses) in Redis. A miss
returns 404, which the UI renders as its initials avatar. Disable with
``SENDER_AVATARS_ENABLED=false``.
