docs: propose consistency for draft dismissal

[saphid]

What Changed

Proposes the consistency rule for draft dismissal, with scope, platform boundaries and observable acceptance cases.

Why

The same object or operation should keep its meaning across presentations. This records the cross-surface constraint separately from the implementation so it can be reviewed on its own. It is a proposal, not a claim of prior ratification or complete compliance.

Tracking: https://github.com/saphid/personal-ops/issues/142

Implementation: #12868 (it carries this documentation commit until this PR merges).

Validation: documentation-only diff, checked against the current implementation and recovered research.

Model: GPT-6 Astra via Codex/T3 Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Added guidance for submission failures, attachments, navigation, draft ownership, session limits, transfer boundaries, restoration, repeated dismissal, capacity failures, successful submission, and preventing silent retargeting.

Define an empty editor as having neither text nor attachments.

The acceptance case says attachment-only drafts cannot disappear through ambiguous dismissal, but line 7 leaves “empty” undefined. A text-only implementation can therefore close an attachment-only draft without preserving it or obtaining an explicit discard decision.

Proposed wording

-Empty editors can close directly. Explicit Discard
+Editors with neither text nor attachments can close directly. Explicit Discard

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
