peter a0114deff1 fix(api,ui): a refused write says why, wherever the refusal happens
Round 5 taught `notifyActionError` to discard a plain-string `detail` in favour
of the caller's translated fallback, because `req` leaves 403/404/429 to the
caller and those routes hand-write English. Three places did not get the
message.

**The demo account lost its explanation.** `require_human` refused with a plain
string, so from that commit on the shared demo account got its caller's generic
"couldn't do that" and no hint that the demo account was the reason — and the
gate is not backed by a UI gate everywhere: the comfort shelf has no `is_demo`
check, so the pin button is live and simply fails. A structured `{code: "demo"}`
and an `errors.demo` string in both locales. The two auth routes that hand-roll
the same check were swept with it.

**`ChatThread` carried a second copy of the contract.** It filtered 404/429
itself and then did `e.detail || t(…)`, the pre-fix order, so the central fix
could not reach it and "That member hasn't set up messaging yet." stayed English
under a Hungarian UI. It goes through the shared helper now, and a contract test
pins the remaining raw-`detail` consumers as an explicit SET — never a count —
so a new copy fails the gate instead of shipping. The five on that list are
inline surfaces (a form field's error line, a setup banner) and are deferred
with the ~60 backend routes whose details they print.

**The Plex "Add to playlist" dialog was still silent.** Same shape as the
collection editor round 5 fixed and the YouTube twin that already had the fix:
no catch, so a playlist deleted on another device answered a structured 404 that
nothing reported — the tick never flipped, the gone row stayed, and the floating
promise became an unhandled rejection.

Also: the `ABORTED` sentinel's VALUE was asserted nowhere. The consumer test
hand-built the error it expected, so replacing `xhr.onabort`'s rejection with a
friendlier message left the lane green — and every upload the user cancels would
then raise a red "the upload failed" toast, which is what the sentinel prevents.
Both producer tests assert through `isAborted` now.

And two backend tests were pinning fewer sites than their own docstrings claimed:
the channel-404 loop said "all five" and issued three requests (explore and
subscribe unexercised, the excuse for subscribe naming a different call site
with a different reason slug), and the recipient/job test named three refusals
and requested two — `share_download`'s `not_found("recipient")` had no test in
the suite at all, nor did the locale keys added beside it. Every site named now
has a request behind it.

6 tests, mutation-checked against 7 mutations: the demo detail at both the gate
and an auth route, a re-hand-rolled ChatThread, the silent Plex dialog, the
abort sentinel, and each unpinned 404 — all red on the test that names them.

"""The shared demo account's refusal says WHY, in the reader's language (deep-review round 6).
`require_human` answered `403 "Not available in the demo account."` — a plain string. `req` leaves
403 to the caller, and round 5 taught `notifyActionError` to discard a plain-string detail in favour
of the caller's already-translated fallback, so from that commit on the demo user got a generic
"couldn't do that" and no hint that the demo account was the reason. Not every affordance behind
this gate is UI-gated on `is_demo` either — the comfort shelf is not, so the pin button is live.
A structured `{code: "demo"}` is what `localizeDetail` can turn into `errors.demo` in both locales.
Pinned at all three sites: the shared dependency and the two auth routes that hand-roll the same
check, because an asymmetric fix is the smell this repo bans. Needs the DB.
