Follow-up to #6604 (merged). Builds the Security policy out so it actually enforces, driven from the editor. ## What it does - **Run on upload or export** — a single choice in the wizard: enforce when a file is uploaded, or just before it's exported. - **Output** — enforced result is a **new version** of the file (default) or a **new file**, with optional filename prefix/suffix/auto-number ("Output filename" subsection; auto-number only for new files). - **Export enforcement** — exporting an export-mode file runs the policy first and downloads the enforced result; never hard-blocks (on failure the original downloads). For new-version policies the in-editor file is versioned too. Covers every export path incl. multi-file ZIP. A toast (glowing in the policy's accent while it runs) reports progress and fades after ~10s. - **Affordances** — a freshly enforced file briefly glows its policy accent and carries a shield badge. - **Config tidy-up** — removed the unwired Security setting fields + the wizard's review step; "Upgrade to enterprise" on locked categories; category accent in the detail/wizard headers. ## Notes - Builds on the manual-only (client-driven) policy model from #6587 (`trigger: null`, metadata in `output.options`), adding the `runOn` field + export-time enforcement. - The page-editor merge-export (no single source file) enforces + downloads but doesn't version in place. ## Verification typecheck (core + proprietary), eslint, prettier; proprietary suite (105) green; flows checked in-app.
