Select items by clicking the card instead of copying them

Copying was a side effect of a click, which made it impossible to build
a selection with the mouse and surprising when the intent was to pick
something up rather than copy it immediately. A click now selects (or
deselects), and copying is an explicit action from the selection bar or
the right-click menu.

 ## Gotchas
 
+- **Never assign `NSApp.mainMenu`.** SwiftUI installs a menu whose Edit items
+  are how AppKit routes Cmd+C/V/X/A/Z; replacing it with a hand-built menu
+  silently breaks pasting, copying and select-all in the composer (this shipped
+  once and had to be reverted). `installMenuItems()` only *augments* the
+  existing menu: it adds Hide Panel (Cmd+W) and removes SwiftUI's Settings item,
+  whose empty scene would otherwise shadow the in-panel Cmd+, sync panel.
+- **Cmd+V is handled by the paste monitor, not the menu.** The panel is a
+  `.nonactivatingPanel`, so it can be key while the app is not active, and menu
+  key equivalents are not reliably delivered in that state. The monitor
+  dispatches `paste:` to the responder chain itself for text, and adds the
+  clipboard image to the store when there is no text. `Prompt --diag` dumps the
+  menu so the wiring can be checked without a keyboard.
+- **A row is not a `Button`** because it contains a checkbox `Button`, and
+  nested buttons never receive clicks. The row uses `contentShape` +
+  `onTapGesture` so a click anywhere on the card selects it. Selection is
+  driven by the card click, the checkbox, Cmd+click (toggle) and Shift+click
+  (range); the context menu acts on the whole selection via `effectiveIDs(for:)`.
+  Copying is an explicit action (selection bar or context menu), never a side
+  effect of a click — that was changed deliberately.
 - **Never bind bare keys as `.keyboardShortcut` in the panel** (Space, Delete,
