rzen bec75e4282 Realign code with the 2026-07-31 rulings
The trash sorts by modified descending — the arrival rank mint retires
(Ranks.isOrderedForTrash one comparator, loader + merged order agree;
the legacy deleted: migration stamps modified from the tombstone
timestamp where parseable; delete undo steps validate existence-only;
agent guide v8). Trash selection goes kind-blind — ranges, marquee,
Select All, and the successor walk sweep both kinds; the guard moves to
the exits (mixed-payload drop refusal, copy/cut validation). The copy
stamping preflight widens back to comment depth (load-scoped posture —
the board always loads, the gesture refuses whole). Fixes a latent
no-op: trashed-lane drag restore never fired (DragSession.beginLanes
hard-coded the board container).

2403 tests in 413 suites green.

/// hold the read-only lock or the reload breakage — those are `BoardStore`'s truths, and copying

/// halves through `rows(lock:breakage:oneShots:losses:suspension:operations:signposts:)`, which is a
/// *pure function* precisely so the precedence rule can be tested without a store, a window, or a
/// filesystem.
///
/// ### Phrasing lives here too
///
/// "The banner owns all user-facing phrasing and localization from that vocabulary" (02 §
/// Write-failure surfacing). `BoardWriteError` carries a closed `WriteOperation` enum and a
/// diagnostic `reason`; `headline(for:)` switches over that enum **exhaustively, with no
/// `default`**, so a Writer operation added without a sentence to say about it is a compile-time
/// hole rather than a silent fallback. The same rule covers locks, breakage, and the history
/// suspension: their user-facing lines are here, not on the error types.
///
/// ### One center per window, not per board
///
/// The strip is "hosted by the window of origin": a card window's own save and attachment failures
/// belong to that window's center, and re-home to the board window's when it closes (m6's job).
/// `BoardStore` owns *the board window's* center, which is why it is a stored `let` there rather
/// than something injected — a board window's strip has exactly one lifetime, the store's.

/// one-shot write failures > **loss rows** > commit and attachment failures > **passive info
/// rows**. Four readings of it are worth stating because the code depends on them:
///
/// - **The two info classes sit at opposite ends of the strip.** An in-progress row is pinned
/// above everything: it is the only explanation the strip offers for a bracket's write lock
/// and for a close or quit deferring teardown, and a copy row's Cancel has to stay reachable
/// — "a spinner may never hide behind '+N more'". A passive signpost ranks last and may
/// collapse: calm by design, nothing gated on seeing it instantly. Same tone, opposite
/// urgency.
/// - **Loss rows slot between the true failures and the ambient notices** (settled 2026-07-28):
/// "an action that didn't happen outranks one that partially did" is why a loss ranks below
/// every one-shot write failure, while "content that didn't arrive though nothing failed" is
/// still more consequential than a condition or a signpost that only reports ambient state —
/// so a loss also ranks above `historySuspended` and the attachment one-shots that follow it.
/// Concretely: non-attachment one-shots, then loss rows, then the commit-and-attachment class,
/// then signposts.
/// - **An attachment failure is a one-shot**, not a separate kind — its `WriteOperation` is
/// `.importAttachment`. It ranks in the commit-failure class rather than with its fellow
/// one-shots, so a fresh failed import sits below an older failed move. That is the design's
/// ordering read literally, and it is defensible: a failed import is the least destructive of
/// the failures (the drop was accepted, the partial copy was removed), so it yields its place
/// to failures that stopped the user's actual work.
/// - **Within the commit-and-attachment class the standing suspension leads**, then the
/// attachment one-shots newest first. A deliberate reading of "newest first within a class":
/// a condition and a one-shot are not comparable by recency in any way a user would read as
/// order — the condition's `since` is when it *started* being true, not when it happened —
/// so they are ordered by kind, and recency orders only the one-shots among themselves.
///
/// `signposts` carries a default because its producer is m6's card window and nothing posts one
/// today; every other class has a live producer and is spelled out at every call site — `losses`
/// included, since a Finder drop that skipped folders already posts one (`postSkippedFolders`).
