Reminders was the last surface still reading as its own page — a bespoke row list
rather than the board's cards. It is now the same NoteGrid as every other lens.

The reason it wasn't already is that the list was a TRIAGE surface: one tap for
Done, 1h, 1d. Cards had none of that, so converting naively would have turned each
of those into open-act-close. Reminder upkeep is exactly the "maintenance must
stay dead simple or people stop coming back" case from the north star, so making
it three times more work to look tidier would have been a bad trade.

So the actions moved onto the card instead, shown wherever a note carries a
reminder — the board included. That turns out to be the better place for them
anyway: seeing something due while browsing and clearing it there is useful
outside the reminders lens. Always visible rather than hover-revealed, because a
finger cannot hover and these are the primary action on a due note; .chip-btn
takes the same coarse-pointer sizing rule as .icon-btn.

The card acts on the store directly, which the board picks up through reconcile.
The reminders lens fetches its own list, so it needs telling — hence the
reminder-changed event, which exists only for hosts that hold a list of their own.

Also carried recurrence (↻) onto the card. It was shown only in the reminders
list, so unifying would have silently dropped it; a repeating note now reads as
repeating on the board too. And the container went max-w-2xl → max-w-6xl, since a
narrower column would have reintroduced the different-page feeling the cards just
removed.

RemindersView is ~40 lines lighter for it.
