peter 2cba6b9fca docs: round-3 copy corrections, and pin the two behaviours nothing was guarding
Round 3's correctness/security pass came back clean; what was left said more than
the code does.

- emailOff promised the access-request list is where sign-ups show up. A sign-up
  on an address that is already approved or already pending adds nothing to it
  (roadmap UX-25), and "only" was falsified by this release's own inbox notice.
- deleteConfirm claimed the admin was dropping "an approval you already gave" —
  it is the confirmation for pending and denied rows too.
- sendFailed blamed the mail server for rejecting a message; the reason covers
  connect, DNS, TLS and login failures alike, so it now describes the symptom and
  leaves the diagnosis to the log.
- ADMIN_EMAILS re-promotion happens in the Google callback only, not on any
  sign-in.

Tests: the decided-list copy of the delete affordance was never rendered (both
new cases fail if that branch is dropped), and the throttle release — a
deliberate behaviour the notes advertise — was asserted by nothing; a drop with
no admin yet, or with a failing write, must not silence the following hour.

"""An undelivered email leaves a trace in the admins' inbox.
Sending is deliberately fail-soft — a missing SMTP setting or a rejecting relay logs and returns
False so nothing user-facing breaks. The cost of that used to be total silence: an instance whose
SMTP was never filled in swallowed verification links, password resets and access-request notices,
and the operator's first clue was somebody saying nothing arrived.
