peter cde5a98fd2 refactor(frontend): each module defines itself in its folder; rails load lazily and keep their own state
A page used to be listed three times (lib/modules for its label, icon and gate; shell/moduleRegistry for
its page and rail; lib/pageMeta for its title), and App held every rail's layout and collapse flag.
Now each module's `module.ts` says it all — label, icon, gate, its lazy page and rail, its width —
handed out through its index.ts, and features/navigation/moduleRegistry lists them in nav order for
the rail, the palette, the tab title, the reachable set and the shell's render. A contract test holds
the registry to the page ids and each definition to its own folder, with no static import of a page.

Every rail is lazy now, loaded together with its page so a pinned rail never arrives after it and
shoves the content aside; the feed's and the playlists' rails took @dnd-kit off the boot path (boot
428.5 → 393.9 KiB gzip, the App chunk 122 → 32 KiB). A rail reads its own layout and collapse flag
(lib/useRail) and writes a layout change to the `me` cache too, since it now mounts anew on each
visit. App's session effects, its one-shot entry-URL handlers and the admin nudge move into shell
hooks; App is layout. The registry's three layer suppressions are gone: none is left.

import { createElement, lazy, type ComponentType } from "react";
// A route-level lazy component whose code can be fetched BEFORE its first render.
//
// React.lazy alone suspends on every first render, even when the chunk is already in the browser: the
// module promise settles a tick later, so the Suspense fallback is committed and painted for a frame or
// several. On a module switch that is a "Loading…" flash in place of the page, on every first visit.
// Here, once `preload()` has resolved, the component renders the loaded module synchronously and never
// suspends at all.
//
// Choosing per render (`loaded ?? Lazy`) cannot swap a mounted page's component type and remount it:
// a render that suspends on `Lazy` is never committed (React discards a suspended new mount), and
// `loaded` is set before `Lazy`'s own promise resolves — so every committed render of a mount sees the
// loaded module. Measured, not assumed: the state test in lazyWithPreload.dom.test.tsx stayed green
// with a per-mount pin removed, in a boundary that was already showing content.
