docs(settings): Update README + Copilot instructions; bump Program Info to 2025.1.0-alpha.11

README: Add System Settings API endpoints; describe new tabbed Settings layout with role gating; add Vite dev proxy tip to use relative /api paths.
Copilot instructions: Note SystemSetting key–value store in data model; document system_settings.py (CRUD + supplement-table convenience endpoint); reference apiSystemSettings.ts; note defaults seeding via init_defaults.py.
Program Info: Bump version to 2025.1.0-alpha.11; changelog explicitly tied to the Settings page (Events tab: supplement-table URL moved; Academic Calendar: set active period; proxy note); README docs mention.
No functional changes to API or UI code in this commit; documentation and program info only.
