fix(blur): .blurred round-trips any rel, and one writer serves both surfaces

The heid bug-hunt on r2b merge 1 found the /blur route stripping `f` before
writing, so the form for " a.png" blurred its neighbour "a.png". The route was
only half of it: `.blurred` was one stripped rel per line, so no writer could
store a rel with a leading space or a newline, whatever the route did.
Operator-ruled 2026-09-23 ("fix the blur").

- booth/blur.py (new, stdlib-only): read_blurred / set_blurred / BLUR_FILE.
  `.blurred` is now a JSON array in sorted order, the `.seen` shape: opened
  O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK with an S_ISREG check and a 1 MiB cap, so a planted
  symlink is refused and a FIFO can no longer hang every Desk render (the old
  read_text() blocked on one). Writes go through mkstemp + os.replace. The
  legacy line format is still READ, so the 6 live line-format files keep their
  blur until their next write upgrades them. Measured before the change: 42
  live rels, none with edge whitespace, so the defect had no live victims.
- The route no longer strips `f`.
- scripts/booth `blur`/`unblur` go through booth.blur.set_blurred instead of
  their own grep/printf line writer. Two writers of one format is how the
  formats drift, and after this change the shell writer would have appended a
  line to a JSON array. Every path is checked before anything is written.
- Item.blurred_self (appended to the record): the item's own blur, resolved in
  booth_items from the same read as `blurred`. It replaces build_gallery's
  second read_blurred, which a write between the two reads could split
  (invariant 3). app.py no longer reads blur state at all, and a test asserts
  it.

Names stay importable from booth.app and booth.items (invariant 4). blur joins
test_stdlib_only. test_cli's per-item-survives test now reads through the reader
rather than asserting the old byte format. The r2b contract and its mutation
row follow blurred_self onto the record. tests/mutations/blur_storage.toml
proves 12 falsifiers by running the change each forbids.

Not in this change, and still ours: the "off"-means-ON idiom drift between
/blur, /blurbooth and /flag (forms only ever send 0/1), and the CLI's
`.blurbooth` touch following a symlink where the service no longer does.

"""Per-item blur storage — `.blurred` round-trips any rel, whoever writes it.
`.blurred` was one stripped rel per line, so a rel with a leading space could
not survive a write: blurring " a.png" stored "a.png", and toggled the
neighbour instead (heid bug-hunt on r2b merge 1, reported to booth-dev). It is
now a JSON array, the `.seen` shape, read without following a link or blocking
on a FIFO. The old line format is still READ, so nothing live changes until the
next write upgrades it.
Two writers share the file: the service (the operator's per-item control) and
`scripts/booth blur` (a session at post time). Both go through `booth.blur`,
which is stdlib-only so the CLI can import it under the system python3.
