Bind a queued strategy patch to the strategy it was made for.

syncDesiredGenericOp queues a closure that runs after earlier outbox writes. When that closure runs, _syncDesiredLocked reads state.strategyPublicId at line 1259 and does not check it against the strategy that made the op. If the user opens strategy B while an earlier write is still in progress, setActiveStrategy changes the active strategy first. The closure then stores A's map or theme patch under B. A's change is then cleared from the canvas bookkeeping after the write completes, so A does not resend it. A patch that carries A's expectedStrategyRevision can also be applied to B when the revisions happen to match.

Pass the expected strategy identity into the queued write. Check that identity against state.strategyPublicId inside the closure before _syncDesiredLocked runs. Do not store the op when the identity differs. Return a rejection that syncStrategyMetadata can detect, and do not let it count as success. Otherwise _partsChanged is cleared even though the change was never stored.

Review comment at @lib/providers/strategy_provider.dart at line 729:
Bind the queued write created by syncDesiredGenericOp to the strategy identity that produced it, and validate that identity against state.strategyPublicId inside the queued closure before calling _syncDesiredLocked. If the identities differ, do not store the operation and return a rejection that syncStrategyMetadata can detect as failure, so it does not report success or clear _partsChanged for an unstored patch.

The late read of the open strategy inside a queued write is on main today and applies to every op, not only this patch, so it gets its own PR rather than growing this one. What this PR added on top was clearing the changed mark after the write; that now also requires the strategy to still be the one the change was made in (7fe64a5).

@SunkenInTime Understood. The state.strategyId check prevents the completed write from clearing the change mark while another strategy is active.

The check does not bind the queued write to its original strategy, so I won’t mark the full finding as addressed. Would you like me to open an issue for the separate PR?

## Sync status is a promise

The chip that says synced is the app promising the work is on the server. A conflict resolved in silence makes the app lie. So does an op dropped after retries, and so do offline edits with no badge. A user who catches the app lying once stops trusting it with their library. Every state the user's work can be in has a face on screen, and when the true state is uncertain, show uncertainty.

Learning: Source excerpt:
## The library is sacred

Corrupted or dropped library data is unrecoverable. In local mode nothing here changes: a change to the Hive models means source models and generated adapters, plus a migration (`lib/migrations/`) whenever data written by a past version would not load correctly in this one. A new field whose default reproduces the old behavior needs no migration; a test that reads a record written without the field proves it. In cloud mode the op queue holds work the user believes is saved. Every op either lands or the user is told, on screen, before they walk away. When a write path is uncertain, fail loudly without saving rather than save something wrong.

You are interacting with an AI system.
