style: rustfmt vault_list.rs

Add ability to remove vaults from the app list without deleting files on disk,
and restore the bundled Getting Started demo vault when needed.

Changes:
- Rust: add hidden_defaults field to VaultList for tracking removed default vaults
- useVaultSwitcher: add removeVault() and restoreGettingStarted() with auto-switch
- useCommandRegistry: add 'Remove Vault from List' and 'Restore Getting Started Vault' commands
- StatusBar: add X button per vault item in vault menu dropdown
- 25 new tests covering removal, restore, edge cases, and command palette

-# Drag & Drop Images — Implementation Summary
-
-## Problem
-Dragging image files from Finder into the BlockNote editor didn't work. Tauri v2's
-`dragDropEnabled` defaults to `true`, which intercepts OS-level file drops before they
-reach the webview's HTML5 DnD API — BlockNote never received the dropped files.
-
-## Solution
-Instead of disabling Tauri's drag interception, we use Tauri's `onDragDropEvent` API
-to listen for native file drops and handle them directly:
-
-1. **Rust backend** (`src-tauri/src/vault/image.rs`):
-   - Added `copy_image_to_vault` command that copies a file by OS path into
-     `vault/attachments/` with a timestamp-prefixed filename
-   - Refactored shared path logic into `prepare_attachment_path` helper
-   - Validates file exists and has an image extension before copying
-
-2. **Frontend** (`src/hooks/useImageDrop.ts`):
-   - Added Tauri `onDragDropEvent` listener that fires on native OS drag-drop
-   - On `drop`: filters for image paths, copies each to vault, calls `onImageUrl`
-   - On `over`: shows drag overlay (paths aren't available until drop)
-   - `copyImageToVault` invokes the new Rust command and returns an asset URL
-
-3. **Editor integration** (`src/components/SingleEditorView.tsx`):
-   - `useInsertImageCallback` inserts a BlockNote image block at cursor position
-   - Wired into `useImageDrop` via the `onImageUrl` callback
-   - `vaultPath` threaded through Editor → EditorContent → SingleEditorView
-
-4. **Existing `/image` slash command** continues to work unchanged (uses `uploadFile`
-   on `useCreateBlockNote` → `uploadImageFile` → `save_image` Tauri command).
-
-## Commits
-- `d45f2e2` feat: add copy_image_to_vault Rust command for native drag-drop
-- `b047d0c` feat: handle Tauri native drag-drop for filesystem images
-- `2e04f5a` fix: remove nonexistent drag-drop permission from capabilities
-- `23ad982` fix: correct DragDropEvent type handling for 'over' events
-
-## Tests
-- 4 new Rust tests for `copy_image_to_vault` (success, missing file, non-image, all extensions)
-- 1 new frontend test for `useImageDrop` with onImageUrl + vaultPath params
-- All 300 Rust tests pass, 1167 frontend tests pass
-- Coverage: Rust 85.47%, Frontend 78.64%
