Let a cloud image be copied under a new id on the server

[SunkenInTime]

On a cloud strategy, "Copy to next page" works for agents, abilities, text and utilities (#267) but not for placed images. A placed image's id is also the id the server stores its picture under, and a copy needs an id of its own (<original id>~cp1~<uuid>), so the copy has no picture. This PR adds the server half: a way to give the copy's id the original's picture. No client calls it yet. The client PR that does will follow, stacked on #267.

What changes

• New public mutation images:copyAsset (convex/images.ts). It takes the strategy and the source and target image ids, and returns "copied", "uploading" or "unavailable".
  • The target gets its own imageAssets row pointing at the same stored bytes. It reuses copyActiveAssetToStrategy, the code "Duplicate strategy" already uses, so nothing is uploaded twice. The bytes are deleted only once no row points at them.
  • If the copy's content reached the server first, it left a pending placeholder. The copied row replaces it. A failed upload under the copy's id is replaced too.
  • A copied row goes the way any image's does: when content that showed it is purged, or with the strategy. It isn't swept on a timer, because the copy itself can wait in a device's outbox for days and still needs its picture when it lands. The cost is that a copy whose content never arrives (its page deleted first, say) keeps its row until the strategy is deleted.
  • Copying again changes nothing. "uploading" means the original's upload hasn't finished, so the client can try again; "unavailable" means the strategy can't show the original either.
  • Only an editor of the strategy can copy, and never onto the same id.
• convex/function_spec.json and lib/collab/generated/ gain the new functions. The spec is npm run snapshot:convex-contract run against the dev deployment with this code on it, and the Dart bindings come from tool/icarus_convex_codegen.

Rollout

This is additive: there is no protocol bump, no schema change and no migration, and no existing function changes. The live web build and shipped desktops never call it. Merging deploys it to production, where it waits until a client that uses it ships.

Checks

• convex/imageCopy.test.ts, 10 tests:
  • a copy shows the original's picture under its own id;
  • a copy whose content landed first takes over its placeholder, leaving one row;
  • copying again changes nothing, but an id that already shows another image is refused;
  • an original still uploading returns "uploading" and leaves the copy's placeholder waiting;
  • a missing original is "unavailable";
  • a stranger and a viewer collaborator can't copy, an editor collaborator can, and nobody can copy onto the same id;
  • a copy replaces a failed upload under its id;
  • a copy whose content arrives three days later still has its picture;
  • deleting the original and purging its tombstone keeps the copy's bytes, and deleting the strategy then frees them once.
• npx tsc --noEmit passes. npm run test:convex: 278 passed.
• test/convex_architecture_test.dart and the client contract gate pass.
• Deployed to the dev deployment, majestic-eel-413, which holds only our data. That's where the contract check above ran. The app PR that calls this copied a real image there: the copy got its own active row with the original's stored file, and showed on the next page after a reload.

Astra reviewed it and found no blockers. It found two gaps: a copy nothing uses kept its row forever, and a failed upload under the copy's id read as "uploading" forever. It also found that the permission test used a stranger rather than a viewer. The second commit fixed all three, and a second round found nothing.

Astra's review of the app side (#272) then showed the first of those fixes was wrong. A day-later sweep of unused copies breaks a copy whose content was still waiting in a device's outbox. The third commit takes the sweep out again, and a test pins the late-arrival case. CodeRabbit then found that an existing row under the copy's id counted as the copy whatever it showed; the fourth commit requires the original's stored file.

Adds a public mutation to copy an active image asset within a strategy. The mutation checks protocol support and editor access, handles existing targets and source availability, and schedules a reclaim check after a successful copy. Tests cover copy results, permissions, and asset lifecycle.

Changes

Image asset copying

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Copy mutation and reclaim scheduling convex/function_spec.json, convex/images.ts	Adds public and internal mutation specifications. copyAsset checks protocol support and editor access, handles existing targets, and copies eligible sources. Successful copies schedule a reclaim check.
Copy outcomes and asset lifecycle convex/imageCopy.test.ts	Tests copy outcomes, pending placeholders, repeated copies, permissions, delayed cleanup, and image and strategy deletion behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a692d

A copy request can report success while leaving the wrong image at the target ID. Resolve that conflict behavior before merging.

Superseded by #276: copies of an image now show their original's picture (an optional picture id on the image), so the server never needs to copy a picture within a strategy, and nothing waits on an upload. Closing rather than merging; reopen if that approach is turned down.
