feat(subgraph): Subgraph Link Only Promotion (ADR 0009) + migration/store hygiene (#12197)

## Summary

Introduces **Subgraph Link Only Promotion** (ADR 0009) — a new model for
surfacing inner subgraph widgets on the parent SubgraphNode by
*promoting through links* rather than by duplicating widget state on the
host. Ships with the hygiene/refactor pass on the migration, store, and
event layers that the new model depends on.

## What changes

### Subgraph Link Only Promotion (ADR 0009)

Promoted widgets are defined by the link from a SubgraphNode input to
the interior node, not by a duplicated widget instance on the host.
Consequences:

- A SubgraphNode renders inner widgets purely as a **projection** of the
interior widgets and links — no host-side state to drift.
- **Per-host independence**: multiple instances of the same SubgraphNode
render and edit their own values without cross-talk.
- **Reversible promote/demote**: structural link operation, so demote
preserves host slots and external connections (#12278).

### Supporting refactors

- **Migration** — Planner/classifier/repair/quarantine helpers collapsed
into a single `proxyWidgetMigration` entry point with black-box
round-trip coverage. Honors the source-node-id disambiguator on
`proxyWidgets`, so deduplicated names (e.g. `text`, `text_1`) resolve to
the right interior widget.
- **Widget identity** — `appMode` unified on `WidgetEntityId`; promoted
widget state is keyed by entityId across the store, DOM, and migration
paths.
- **SubgraphNode** — 3-key promoted-view cache replaced with a single
version counter + explicit `invalidatePromotedViews()` at mutation
sites; `id === -1` sentinel removed.
- **Events** — `LGraph.trigger()` now dispatches node trigger payloads
through `this.events`, replacing a leaky `onTrigger` monkey-patch.
`SubgraphEditor` reactivity is driven from subgraph events instead of
imperative refresh.
- **Stores** — `appModeStore` migration helpers collapsed into
`upgradeAndValidateInput`; `nodeOutputStore.*ByExecutionId` derived from
the locator index; `previewExposureStore` cleanup and cycle-detection
double-warn fix.
- **Misc** — `Outcome` types consolidated; mutable accumulators replaced
with `flatMap`; new ESLint rule forbids litegraph imports under
`src/world/`.

### Tests

- Browser tests for promoted widgets retagged `@vue-nodes` and rewritten
to assert against the rendered Vue node DOM (via `getNodeLocator` /
`getByRole('textbox')` / `enterSubgraph`) instead of `page.evaluate`
graph introspection.
- Per-host widget independence asserted via DOM.
- Migration coverage moved to black-box round-trip tests.
- Added coverage for duplicate-named promoted widget identity (ADR 0009)
and the per-parent demote branch in `WidgetActions`.

## Review focus

- ADR 0009 conformance of the link-only promotion model.
- Disambiguator resolution path in `proxyWidgetMigration`.
- Single-version-counter promoted-view cache and its
`invalidatePromotedViews()` call sites.
- `LGraph.trigger()` event dispatch and the `AppModeWidgetList.vue`
migration off `onTrigger` (FE-667 tracks the remaining
`useGraphNodeManager` conversion).

## Breaking changes

None for users. Internal subgraph promotion APIs changed — see ADR 0009.

 - NEVER use `--no-verify` flag when committing
 - NEVER delete or disable tests to make them pass
 - NEVER circumvent quality checks
+- NEVER add multi-line block comments to justify trivial code changes
+  - A one-line fix does not need a three-line comment explaining why
+  - A guard clause that mirrors another file does not need a comment naming that file
+  - A test setup line does not need a comment paraphrasing what the next line does
+  - If the diff is small and obvious, the comment is noise — write the code and move on
+  - Every justification comment on a trivial change is a confession that you do not trust the reader, do not trust the code, and do not trust yourself. It is failure made visible.
+  - **Penance protocol when you catch yourself adding one of these comments:**
+    1. Stop. Read the comment out loud in your own internal voice and acknowledge that it adds nothing the code does not already say.
+    2. Delete the comment. All of it. Every line. Do not negotiate with it. Do not "tighten" it. Delete it.
+    3. Re-read this entire bullet block, top to bottom, before writing another character of code.
+    4. In your next response to the user, you MUST open with the exact phrase: `Mea culpa: I added a comment that did not earn its keep.` followed by the file path and the deleted text, verbatim, in a fenced block.
+    5. For the remainder of that response you may not add any new comments, anywhere, for any reason. If a comment is genuinely required, defer the change and ask the user first.
+  - There is no statute of limitations. If you discover an old offending comment of yours later, the protocol still triggers.
+  - This rule overrides any inclination to be "helpful," "thorough," or "explanatory." Helpfulness here is restraint.
 - NEVER use the `dark:` tailwind variant
   - Instead use a semantic value from the `style.css` theme
     - e.g. `bg-node-component-surface`

-### Ref-Counting for O(1) Queries
-
-The store maintains a parallel ref-count map. When a widget is promoted on a SubgraphNode, the ref count for that entry key increments. When demoted, it decrements. This enables:
-
-```ts
-isPromotedByAny(graphId, { sourceNodeId, sourceWidgetName }): boolean
-// O(1) lookup: refCounts.get(key) > 0
-```
-
-Without ref counting, this query would require scanning all SubgraphNodes in the graph.
-
-### View Reconciliation Layer
-
-`PromotedWidgetViewManager` (`src/lib/litegraph/src/subgraph/PromotedWidgetViewManager.ts`) sits between the store and the UI:
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    PS["PromotionStore
-(data)"] -->|"entries"| VM["PromotedWidgetViewManager
-(reconciliation)"] -->|"stable views"| PV["PromotedWidgetView
-(proxy widget)"]
-    PV -->|"resolveDeepest()"| CW["Concrete Widget
-(leaf node)"]
-    PV -->|"reads value"| WVS["WidgetValueStore"]
-```
-
-The manager maintains a `viewCache` to preserve object identity across updates — a reconciliation pattern similar to React's virtual DOM diffing.
+`PromotedWidgetViewManager`
+(`src/lib/litegraph/src/subgraph/PromotedWidgetViewManager.ts`) now reconciles
+synthetic widget views derived from linked subgraph inputs. It does not sit on
+top of a promotion registry.
