Ship the Files tab container-side only

Four successive audits found the same thing: host filesystem paths crossing
IPC is where the criticals in this work live. The most recent one found the
`link(2)` upload reservation returning success against a *directory* (linking
into it, leaving permanent stray files, and via a symlink-to-directory writing
outside the validated write root), failing every upload permanently on any
filesystem without hard links, and the post-resolution credential check
weakened from a general rule to an eleven-name denylist.

Rather than fix that a fifth time, the Files tab ships as what it is good at:
a browser, viewer and renamer that never touches the host.

Removed: `upload_file_to_container`, `download_container_file`, and everything
that existed only for them — the whole reservation (`UPLOAD_RESERVATION_SCRIPT`,
`reserve_upload_destination`, the placeholder rollback, `exec_oneshot_as_within`
which had no other caller), `stream_container_file_to_host`, `ChannelReader`,
`save_to_host`, the download ceiling, and the collision marker with its
frontend contract. On the frontend: the upload button, the pane's
`onDragDropEvent` handler, both "Save to host…" affordances, `uploadPaths` /
`downloadFile` / the overwrite prompt, and `OverwriteConfirmModal`.
`lib/uploadErrors.ts` is now `lib/refusalText.ts` and keeps only the half that
turns any backend refusal into the sentence a person reads.

Kept, and not weakened: `upload_host_file_to_terminal` and
`download_container_backup`. They predate this work, their hardening is a real
improvement over main, and they are now the whole answer to "how do I get a
file in or out" — drop it on the Terminal, or Back up container. The drop gate
(`lib/dropTarget.ts`, `PaneVisibility`) is untouched.

`resolve_host_path` gets the general hidden-component rule back. Round 3
replaced it with `HOST_CREDENTIAL_DIRS`, which is allow-by-omission for the
rest of `$HOME`: `~/.local/bin` (write there and you own the user's next shell
command), `~/.password-store`, browser profiles and `~/.pki/nssdb` were all
reachable through a planted symlink with a visible name — verified against a
real home directory, and all five refused now. It over-catches `.pnpm` and
`~/.cache`; for two occasional callers that is the cheaper mistake, and the
refusal says which folder it resolved through.

Two defects fixed while in here:

  * A symlinked directory listed as empty. `find` defaults to `-P`, which does
    not follow a symlink even as the starting point, so `-mindepth 1` discarded
    the only match and a real directory rendered as "Empty directory" — a
    first-order defect now that browsing *is* the feature. `-H` follows the
    starting point and nothing else, so a loop is `ELOOP` rather than a walk
    that does not end; verified against a live container for a symlinked
    directory, a broken link and a loop. `find`'s errno for the loop case is
    now a sentence.
  * `finish_download`'s replace path fired on *any* rename failure with a
    destination present — a vanished partial, a permission error, a directory
    at the destination — and deleted the user's file to complete a move that
    could not complete. It is now fenced to Windows (where a rename onto an
    existing path genuinely fails) and to a partial that still exists.
