docs: propose consistency for draft dismissal

[saphid]

What Changed

Proposes the consistency rule for draft dismissal, with scope, platform boundaries and observable acceptance cases.

Why

The same object or operation should keep its meaning across presentations. This records the cross-surface constraint separately from the implementation so it can be reviewed on its own. It is a proposal, not a claim of prior ratification or complete compliance.

Tracking: https://github.com/saphid/personal-ops/issues/142

Implementation: #12868 (it carries this documentation commit until this PR merges).

Validation: documentation-only diff, checked against the current implementation and recovered research.

Model: GPT-6 Astra via Codex/T3 Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Documented a proposed cross-surface policy for dismissing editors.
  • An editor is considered empty only when it has no text and no attachments; only empty editors may close directly.
  • Non-empty drafts should retain their destination context or require explicit discard.

Dismissing prior approval to re-evaluate f50bffc

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

This adds an explicitly proposed contract for draft preservation and dismissal behavior, rather than recording an agreed decision. CONTRIBUTING and the proposal rules place external product proposals in Ideas discussions. Please move the proposal there, obtain maintainer agreement on direction and scope, and link that decision when requesting reconsideration of the documentation.
