rzen 1e65b7c986 Build the card window shell and lifecycle
The m4 scene plumbing was already honest — one WindowGroup value per
CardWindowRef enforces one-window-per-card, and CardWindowFate's
ancestor walk answered dismissal — so this card fills the window: a
two-column shell whose body column takes all resize flex and whose
sidebar width derives once from font metrics (26 characters of average
body advance plus em gutters), the five 05-ordered section headers as
placeholders, and the card body as selectable plain text until Preview
mode lands. The fate walk now returns a CardPlacement (card + lane), so
one pass answers both liveness and the live board › lane subtitle; a
board rename lands for free through displayName. Card windows remember
their frames per card in the board record (case-folded id keys,
unchanged-writes-nothing), restoring instead of cascading; only
unremembered cards take the last-used size and cascade. Store
acquisition stays gated on liveStore — a card window never opens a
board — and the close-flush hook stands with nothing to flush until the
Edit-session card.

/// The card window's fixed geometry — **derived from font metrics, never written down in points**
/// (05-card-window.md ▸ Composition: the attributes sidebar has a "fixed narrow width derived from
/// font metrics (full relative scaling, 10-accessibility.md)"; 10 ▸ Text: "relative text styles
/// everywhere, no fixed point sizes … metrics derive from font metrics, so layout survives the
/// largest system text sizes").
///
/// ### The derivation, named once
///
/// Every width here is **a character count in the body font**, and the arithmetic behind it is one
/// expression used three times:
///
/// ```
/// width = characters × averageCharacterAdvance × pointSize + 2 × gutter
/// ```
///
/// `averageCharacterAdvance` is the system font's rough average advance for mixed-case Latin text as
/// a fraction of its point size — half an em, the classic typesetter's estimate. It is deliberately
/// an *estimate* rather than a measurement: the sidebar is sized so a filename, a palette grid and a
/// key/value row have room, not so any particular string fits exactly, and a measured advance would
/// make this geometry depend on which glyphs happened to be on screen. The gutter is one em, which
/// is what keeps the whole thing scaling together.
///
/// ### Why the point size is a parameter
///
/// So the rule is a pure function and a test can hold it still. `bodyPointSize` below is the one
/// place that asks the system what the body font actually is; everything else takes it as an
/// argument, which is also what makes "the sidebar is narrower at 11pt and wider at 18pt" a fact a
/// suite can assert rather than something to be verified by eye at three text sizes.
