ZDDC 56c3353f7b feat(browse): party picker for New folder/file in virtual aggregators 
Creating a folder/file at a project-level folder-nav aggregator root
(working/staging/reviewing) used to error or silently shadow — the slots
are virtual and content is party-scoped. Now browse opens a party picker
that targets archive/<party>/<slot>/<name>, with a "+ New party…" option
(server-gated to the document_controller via the existing archive/ ACL).

- events.js: aggregatorRoot detection + openPartyPicker modal (mirrors the
  stage.js modal), createInAggregator routes the create to the canonical
  archive path; rewriteAggregatorPath handles right-clicking a party row
  shown in an aggregator listing so it never re-prompts.
- server: serveFileMkdir now 409s a mkdir inside an aggregator
  (rejectProjectAggregatorMkdir) with a pointer at archive/<party>/<slot>/,
  instead of letting the write fall through to an unreachable shadow dir.

Reverts the prior session's project-level creator-owned working/ folders
(per the design decision to make all three folder-nav slots uniformly
party-scoped): working/ is a pure virtual aggregator again like
staging/reviewing — drops the working/ history+auto_own+acl defaults, the
EnsureCanonicalAncestors working exception, the working-root document-
controller file gate (serveFilePut/Move) and zddc.IsRoleMemberAt. Per-party
archive/<party>/working/ keeps its own history + auto-own.

browse — directory listing tool

Generic file browser for any directory. Designed to work with ZDDC archives but useful for any folder. Single-file HTML, no install.

How it's used

Two modes, auto-detected at page load:

  1. Online (zddc-server backed). When this HTML is served by zddc-server at a folder URL — which it is by default for any directory under ZDDC_ROOT that doesn't have an index.html — the JS queries the same URL with Accept: application/json to load the directory's listing and renders it as a sortable, filterable table.

  2. Local (FileSystemAccessAPI). Click "Select Directory" in the header to pick any folder on your computer. Works in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). No server required; the directory is read directly from disk.

What it does

  • Lists files and folders with name, size, type (extension), and modified date.
  • Click a folder to expand inline. Children load lazily on first expand.
  • Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse.
  • Type in the filter to narrow to entries whose name contains the substring.
  • Click any file to open it in a new tab — for server-backed pages, this routes through zddc-server's normal handler (so an .archive redirect, an apps cascade override, etc. all work as expected).

Design notes

  • No ZDDC-specific filtering. This tool is intentionally domain-agnostic. The companion archive tool layers ZDDC parsing (project / status / revision filters, tracking-number resolution) on top of the same listing API. Use archive when you want ZDDC semantics; use browse when you just want to see what's in a folder.
  • Default at directory URLs. zddc-server's directory.go serves the embedded browse.html bytes for any directory request with Accept: text/html and no index.html present. This means a user navigating to any folder under ZDDC_ROOT gets a usable browser without anyone having to drop a file into the archive.
  • Apps cascade override. Like every other ZDDC tool, the served browse.html can be overridden per-folder via a .zddc apps: entry. The default is the embedded copy from the binary; operators can pin a specific version or URL if they want.
