Faster first page: start new workspaces from the demo by linking its large files - #279

Conversation
A new online session copied the whole example workspace (about 300 MB) before the page drew anything, which made the first page, the consent banner and the captcha take 10 s or more. The demo's large files are now linked and only small files copied (the template's seed_new_workspace), and FileManager replaces a link before it stores a result, so the shared demo is never written to. The consent bundle is built in production mode (183 KB instead of 1 MB).

Requested by Tom · project thread
Needs OpenMS/streamlit-template#571 (same
common.pyand consent bundle changes; the template sync will bring them in without conflict once both are merged).Why
A new visitor on flashapp.webapps.openms.de waits 12–14 s before the consent banner and captcha appear. The captcha itself takes under 1 s; about 7 s is the server copying the 297 MB example workspace into the new session's workspace before the first page is sent (live waterfall: scripts loaded at 2.2 s, no server frames until 9.2 s).
What changes
settings.json:demo_workspaces.new_workspace: "default", so a new workspace starts from the demo through the template'sseed_new_workspace(), replacing FLASHApp's own copy inpage_setup().src/common/common.py: the template'sseed_new_workspace()/copy_demo_workspace(): files of 1 MiB or more are linked, smaller ones copied. For the demo: 48 files (286 MB) linked, 132 (11 MB) copied.src/workflow/FileManager.py:store_dataandstore_fileremove a link before writing, so storing a result again writes a file of the workspace's own and never into the shared demo.Timings
