Reframes the By-MDL tab as a "⊞ Catalog" button that opens an overlay over the
target pane (the left filetree stays the drag source). The catalog is the
de-duplicated union of everything the project knows about a tracking number:
its MDL deliverables AND its archive files, merged by tracking number, with an
informational "Archive revs" column (which revisions already exist) and an "MDL"
flag. Nothing is written or altered — the Revision column is classifier-local
and starts blank (never pre-filled from an old archive rev).
- Drag a source file onto a row → assigns the tracking number only (the mdl
axis); set the revision in the bulk-editable Revision column (ctrl-shift
select rows + ctrl-Enter). Per-file Title: MDL/file toggle + ✕ remove kept.
- Columns split the tracking number into the configured pattern fields, each with
its own autofilter (per-column, via the shared seltable). Default pattern is
now the 8-field ORIG-PHASE-PROJECT-AREA-DISC-TYPE-SEQ-SUFFIX.
- Server load merges every party's archive/<party>/mdl/*.yaml with a recursive
walk of the archive documents; local load reads a folder of deliverable yamls.
Test: catalog shows merged archive revisions; drop names a file (tracking only);
bulk revision feeds the derived name.
