jelveh 66dedf3082 feat(gui): let the app drawer's intro flash retire once learned
The control drawer on headless dashboard apps opened itself on EVERY
window open, forever -- 2.6 seconds of tray over the app's own top
edge to teach a lesson (the controls live in this tongue) that is
learned in a few exposures. Same doctrine as the dashboard's
deep-link intro: pedagogy that knows when to step aside.

A per-account kv counter records deliveries, once per window: a flash
played while the user could see it, or the user opening the drawer
themselves (hover, tap, focus) -- the stronger proof, since the
drawer is a headless app's only chrome and must never decay out of a
user's awareness. After three, new windows keep the bare tongue and
the flash stops; hover, tap, and focus expansion never decay.

The attach is synchronous and the stored count is not: the first
drawer of a session races the read against a short cap and defaults
to teaching -- a hung read must not hold the intro hostage, and every
failure mode (unparseable value, failed read, timed-out read, failed
write) errs toward teaching once more, never toward never teaching.
The resolved count is cached and kept current in memory, so later
windows decide synchronously and a session's own not-yet-written
increments still count. kv.incr keeps two devices from losing an
increment, and the pre-read caps the key once the lesson is learned.

If the user beats a still-deciding flash to the drawer, the flash is
skipped rather than played over their hand -- its auto-collapse would
shut a drawer they are actively using. A flash in a hidden tab still
defers to first reveal (it rides requestAnimationFrame, as before)
and an unseen one is never counted.
