revert(live-sync): drop path-activation unit

Frank veto: DirectoryNotEmpty re-fires on every file event (GUI writes, wallpaper shuffle) un-debounced -> hundreds of heartbeat spawns/day. The sweep is cheap (57 ms CPU) but the trigger design was event spam. Exposure-window fix is an open design question; timer unchanged.

+## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered from dangling objects
+
+Frank's months of GUI-built bar customizations (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar center, capsule groups g1–g4, control-cheat-sheet, thickness/font-scale/opacity styling) vanished from the live bar at 16:46. Root cause: the layout existed **only in the working tree** — the repo copy of `settings.toml` carried a stale plain layout because GUI edits hadn't been committed inside the hourly heartbeat window — and a trunk-sync session clearing the dirty tree for `origin/main` stashed it; the stash entry was subsequently destroyed (three `WIP on main` stashes within 60 s, all later dropped). Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the destroyed stash as dangling commit `7fe3ed8` (16:46:09); candidate validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before restore, clobbered file preserved to `.AGENTTRASH/`, layout restored through the symlink target and proven by screenshot, committed as `c87b378` — the durable copy the layout never had. Lessons codified into managed skills: trunk-sync must preservation-**commit** every dirty deployment path (never stash, never `stash clear`), and GUI layout edits get committed the same session they're made.

 ## 2026-10-18 — Fleet law: issue/PR attribution footers

 Every agent-opened issue and PR body now ends with a `cwd:` + `session:` footer (session id from `/status`), in AGENTS.md of both `dank/command-center` and `dank/serverAppConfigs` (mirrored PRs). Born from the live-sync review: once the machine starts filing and committing on its own, its artifacts must trace back to the box and session that produced them.
