Confirm irreversible deletes, which sync just made far more consequential
The trash model itself was already right and needed no change: notes soft-
delete (`trashed` locally, `deleted_at` server-side), Trash is a real view,
restore works, permanent deletion is a separate second step only offered on
an already-trashed note, `trash()` shows an Undo toast, and nothing auto-
purges — trash persists until someone acts. Sync carries all of it: a trashed
note syncs WITH its content, and only `purged_at` deletes a client's copy.

What was missing is the guard on the irreversible step. "Delete forever" and
label deletion were one click, silent, with no confirmation — and M10.7 has
changed what that costs. Before, a mis-click lost a note on one machine.
Now it pushes a tombstone that deletes it from every linked device, and the
local tombstone survives to make sure it gets there.

Both guards live in the STORE, not the call sites: NoteCard and NoteEditor
both offer delete-forever, and duplicating the copy is how two prompts drift
until one of them stops matching what actually happens.

The copy names the real consequence — "deleted from every device you sync
with" — because that's the part a user cannot infer from a button in a Trash
view. The label prompt also says the notes themselves are kept, since that's
what people actually worry about when deleting a label.

Labels deliberately get a confirmation but NOT a trash of their own. A label
is organization, not content; the reversible middle step notes get would be
ceremony around something that costs nothing to recreate.

Saved-filter deletion already confirmed (AppShell), so these two were the
outliers, not a new convention.
