feat(stacks): one-click import for stray compose files (#1320)

* feat(stacks): move discovered import candidates into place

The guided import flow previewed loose and nested compose files but could
not act on them, so it only told the user where to move files by hand. Add
an opt-in "Move into place" action: relocate a loose-root file into its own
<name>/ subfolder, or promote a nested stack directory one level up, so
Sencho's filesystem discovery lists it as a stack. The file stays a plain
compose file on disk; nothing is captured into a store. The move re-derives
the candidate from a fresh scan and matches by location, validates the
destination name and containment, resolves symlinks before the rename, and
never overwrites an existing stack. Backend and frontend both gate the
action on stack:create.

Also fix the rescan flicker: scan results now stay on screen while a rescan
runs (only the Rescan button shows progress) instead of the whole panel
collapsing to a spinner, and an empty rescan surfaces a toast.

* fix(stacks): make import-move destination creation atomic

The loose-root branch created the destination directory with mkdir
recursive after an access() existence precheck. If the destination
appeared between the check and the create, recursive accepted the
existing directory and the following rename could overwrite a
same-named compose file inside it, so the intended conflict response
never fired. Use a non-recursive mkdir so a destination that already
exists raises a conflict instead of being merged into. Add a regression
test that forces the precheck to miss and asserts the existing file is
left intact.

* fix(stacks): only offer not-yet-imported compose files in the import tab

The import tab listed every compose file in the compose directory,
including ones that are already stacks (a top-level subfolder with a
compose file), which just duplicated the sidebar. The scan now skips
those and surfaces only files that still need importing: a compose file
loose at the compose-dir root, or one nested a folder too deep.

Also harden the move-into-place write path that turns a stray file into
a stack: a failed rename after the destination folder is created now
rolls back the empty folder, so a retry is not blocked by a false
"already exists" conflict, and the move switches on an exhaustive set of
placements so a new one cannot silently take the wrong branch. The
sidebar refreshes after a move so the imported stack appears right away,
and the docs describe import as relocating a file, not capturing running
containers.

* fix(stacks): reject a nested import whose compose file escapes the base

The move-into-place path for a nested compose file validated only the
parent directory's real path, not the compose file itself. A directory
that is real and inside the compose base but holds a compose file
symlinked outside the base would survive the directory move and become a
stack whose compose file still points outside the base, which the editor
read path would then follow. The move now resolves the compose file too
and refuses it unless it stays inside the resolved source directory,
matching the loose-root check and the scan's preview reader.

* fix(stacks): satisfy CodeQL path and log analysis in import-move

The import-move write path built its destination directory from the
user-provided stack name through resolveStackDir, whose containment
barrier is wrapped in a helper that static analysis does not credit, so
every filesystem sink on the destination was flagged as path injection.
Re-establish the resolve-against-the-safe-base plus startsWith barrier
inline at the sinks, matching the read and backup paths in the same file,
and route the relocated file path through the same check. The name is
already restricted to an alphanumeric, hyphen, and underscore allowlist,
so the containment can never actually fail; this only makes the existing
safety visible to the analyzer.

Also log the move route's error as a sanitized message rather than the
raw error object, so a name embedded in an error message cannot forge log
lines.

### Import existing files
If you already have compose files on disk, the **Import** tab helps you land your first stack without reading the rest of this page. It scans your compose directory and lists every compose file it finds, with a dry preview of each file's services, ports, volumes, and env files. The scan is read only: it never moves, writes, or changes any of your files.
If you already have compose files on disk, the **Import** tab helps you land your first stack without reading the rest of this page. It scans your compose directory for compose files that are not yet stacks and lists them with a dry preview of each file's services, ports, volumes, and env files. Scanning is read only: it never moves, writes, or changes anything. The only change to disk is the **Move into place** action, which you trigger per file and confirm before it runs. Stacks that already sit in their own subfolder are not listed here; they appear in the sidebar.
Each result shows where the file sits:
- **In sidebar**: the file is in its own subfolder inside the compose directory, so it is already a stack. Expand it to preview its services, or open it directly in the sidebar.
- **Needs move**: the file is loose at the root of the compose directory, or one folder too deep, so it will not show up as a stack on its own. Sencho shows the exact path to move it to (its own subfolder inside the compose directory) and a **Rescan** button. Move the file there, click **Rescan**, and it appears.
Each listed file is one that will not show up as a stack on its own, because it is loose at the root of the compose directory or one folder too deep. Expand it, give the stack a name, and click **Move into place** to relocate it into its own subfolder; confirm the move, and it appears as a stack in the sidebar. This only relocates the compose file on disk: it does not adopt or capture running containers, and containers start only when you deploy the stack. Moving a loose root file relocates only that file, so anything it references by a relative path (such as a root `.env`) stays where it is. You can also arrange the file by hand and click **Rescan** instead.
The top of the panel shows the directory Sencho is scanning and a reminder of the path rule: each stack lives in its own subfolder, and the host mount path must match the path inside the container so relative volume paths resolve. See [Configuration](/getting-started/configuration) for the full explanation.
