refactor(notes): a snippet's and lesson's stored title is its name; the trigger joins it only in the embedded document (milestone 427)
The title was `subject — trigger` because the stored title WAS the
embedded one, and the join is what makes these kinds rank on the
situation they apply to (#2485). Every surface that shows a title then
showed the trigger too -- menus, lists and search rows ran to kilobytes.

- embeddings.document_title(title, note_type, data, body) joins the
  trigger from `data` (body fallback) at embed time. Idempotent: an
  un-migrated composed title comes out the same, never doubled. The
  embed path, the startup backfill and the dedup gate's semantic signal
  all use it, so the embedded text -- and every vector -- is unchanged.
- Writers store the subject: snippet create/update (service, REST, MCP)
  and lesson_document. Both compose_title helpers are removed.
- Readers: dedup takes `data`; the menus strip the embedded title from a
  passage; list rows project `when_to_use`, which SnippetListView reads.
- 0108 rewrites existing rows on an exact `' — ' || <own trigger>`
  suffix with raw SQL, leaving updated_at alone so the backfill does not
  re-embed the corpus for identical vectors. Downgrade recomposes.

"""A backfill repairs to current truth; it does not replay a snapshot (#4262).
The bug these pin: every backfill used to SELECT the text alongside the id and
then iterate that snapshot, sleeping between records. A run over a real corpus
takes minutes, so anything edited inside that window was re-embedded by its own
write path and then OVERWRITTEN with the pre-edit text the scan had captured —
and stamped at the current chunker version, so the next boot considered it
current and never repaired it. The record stayed findable by what it used to
say, silently, until someone happened to edit it again.
That window is exactly "forward work continues while a long backfill runs",
which is the normal condition, not an unlucky one.
