Owner

Part of #37. Shares machinery with ignore rules.

What Relay does

Right-click a folder to disconnect it as a persistent setting; a satellite icon
disconnects a single file; a manual "sync" pulls on demand. Their issue #18
covers the on-demand mode.

What we do today

A folder is mapped or unmapped, and that is the whole granularity. Unmapping is
in the settings tab; there is nothing per-file and no context menu.

What changes

A persisted exclusion set honoured by vault-watcher.ts, content-sync.ts and
file-sync.ts, surfaced as a context-menu toggle and an explorer indicator.
Same plumbing as ignore rules, same hazard: disconnecting must never read as
deleting to anyone else.

Risk

risk:none.

Verification

As for ignore rules — the other vault's copy survives, and the test fails when
inverted.
