fix: resolve gallery authentication and redirect issues

- Fix useWatermarkSettings hook to use public API endpoint instead of admin endpoint
- Add hero_photo_id to gallery authentication response
- Prevent 401 errors on gallery pages from redirecting to admin login
- Gallery pages now correctly fetch settings without requiring admin auth

The main issue was that gallery pages were calling admin-only endpoints
which triggered 401 errors and caused redirects to the admin login page.
