Give card windows their own undo stacks and coarsen the close

Phase B of the two-level undo card: every card-window gesture — comment
post/delete/edit, body Edit sessions, style and details changes —
registers fine-grained on the window's own stack (window.undoManager
answers with it; board ⌘Z never sees mid-session card steps; an empty
window stack beeps, never falls through). Window close folds the stack
into one coarse values-based board step ("Edit card 'X'") — per-target
per-field later-wins merge, so foreign mid-session writes stay out by
construction, a no-net-change session registers nothing, and any stale
component skips the whole step. The comments/.trash purge defers with
the coarse step via a step-retirement seam on the providers: it runs
when the step leaves the board stack or the board session ends; the git
provider retires dropped steps on register, which keeps Pro's
purge-at-close-flush structural with no tier check. Interim on git
boards: gestures still auto-commit per debounce until phase C's
close-flush commit.
