Folders the cascade declares but disk doesn't carry (working/,
staging/, reviewing/, mdl/, the canonical folders before they're
materialised) previously got just opacity:0.65 + an "(empty)" hint —
easy to miss, especially next to dimmed-but-real items.
Now they read as placeholders at a glance:
- Dashed left rail (2px, accent-muted) inside the row gutter.
- Italic label in muted text color.
- Lucide icon switches to outline-only (fill:none + stroke:currentColor)
so virtual folders look sketched, not filled.
- "(empty)" hint italic + accent-muted to match the rail.
- Selected virtual row keeps the rail but switches it to the
selection accent so "selected + placeholder" reads as both.
