0.10.0: Archify Sync, optional live collaboration on a model

Several people edit one model at once through a server you run yourself
(archify-vscode-ext-sync); the files stay ordinary files on each disk.
Sign-in through the browser, offline-first with later merge, teammates'
cursors in the Source view and text editors, and a Shared section on the
model page with people, versions, Compare and Restore.

Without a server nothing changes: the sync code is a separate bundle that
loads only when a model is shared, after a sign-in, or when a sync command
or invite link is used.

## Working together (Archify Sync)
Optional. Without a sync server the extension works exactly as described above and loads none of this.
[Archify Sync](https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/vscode-extensions/archify-vscode-ext-sync) is a small server you run yourself (one container and PostgreSQL; a Helm chart is included). With it, a model is edited by several people at once, like a shared document, and its files stay ordinary files on each person's disk, so Git, agents and every page of this extension keep working.
- **Sign in.** *Archify | Sign in to Sync Server…* asks for the server's address and signs in through the browser; the session is kept in VS Code's secret storage and shows under **Accounts** as *Archify Sync*. A new server is set up first on its `/setup` page with the code from its log.
- **Share.** *Archify | Share Model…* (also on `main.archify` in the Explorer) puts the model on the server and writes a small `.archify-sync` file next to `main.archify`: the server and the model's id, no secrets. Commit it, and everyone who clones the repository and is a member opens the shared model.
- **Invite and join.** *Archify | Copy Invite Link* copies a link for the model; send it any way you like. Opening it (or *Archify | Join Shared Model…*) signs the person in, or up, and puts the files in an empty folder of their choice.
- **Live.** Edits in any editor, page, Source view, by Git or by an agent reach the others within a moment. Their edits arrive in your open editors with undo intact and are saved to disk; your own unsaved work stays unsaved. The status bar shows **Archify live · 3 here**; the model page gets a **Shared** section with who is here and in which file, and each diagram card says who has it open. In the Source view and in text editors, teammates' cursors show as coloured carets with their names.
- **Offline.** Every edit is kept on your machine first. Without a connection you keep working; edits on both sides merge when it is back, also after a restart, and also edits made while VS Code was closed.
- **Versions.** The server takes a snapshot after a pause in editing (0.1, 0.2, …). *Archify | Publish Version…* names the current state as a major version (1.0 "Q4 baseline"). The model page lists the latest versions with **Compare** (a diff per changed file) and **Restore** (brings the files back for everyone, as a new version; nothing is lost); *Archify | Versions…* lists them all.
- **Stop.** *Archify | Stop Syncing Model…* removes `.archify-sync` here and leaves the files as they are.
Only model files (`.archify`, `.archify-registry`, `.archify-decision`) are shared, and only below `main.archify`.
## Source evidence
A diagram that declares `meta.repository` and `sources` is verified against a local Git checkout whose `origin` and pinned commit match. The extension uses the Git top-level directory of the diagram file, or `archify.repoRoot` when set.

## Security
Diagrams run in a webview with a strict content security policy. Only the page's own inline scripts and the extension's bundled 3D viewer run (via a per-render nonce), there is no network access for scripts or fetches, and links open through VS Code.

The extension itself talks to a network only for Archify Sync, and only to a server you sign in to or a model's `.archify-sync` file names, over HTTPS (plain HTTP only to this machine).
