Diego Imbert 5c2209dc93 docs: review nits — variable.edited_at backfill, UserDraft toast/modal headers
Three low-priority callouts:

- Document the variable.edited_at backfill in the migration. All
  existing rows get a single `now()` timestamp from the column
  DEFAULT; the staleness check only consumes the field as an opaque
  rev string and never displays/sorts on it, so the collision is
  harmless — but worth saying out loud.
- Add module headers to userDraftToast.ts and LocalDraftStaleModal.svelte
  explaining how this layer sits above the per-browser UserDraft
  autosave and is distinct from the backend DraftService (the
  server-side "Save as draft" feature surfaced as `*.draft`).
