fix(series): Date Added respects the direction toggle; bump bundle stamp

Two follow-ups from live testing:

- "recent" is BOTH a base toolbar key and a full registry key (where it
  means desc). ResolveSeriesSort's full-key passthrough ran first, so
  sort=recent&dir=asc silently resolved back to desc — the direction
  chevron flipped but Date Added could never sort ascending. "recent"
  now composes with the direction before the passthrough, unknown bases
  fall to the default entirely (a hostile dir can't ride an unknown
  sort), and the composition table is unit-pinned plus an HTTP-level
  row in the series filter test.

- The header search "still broken" report was a stale-cache artifact:
  the fixed code shipped but main.js kept its ?v=7 stamp, so browsers
  with a cached copy never refetched (fresh-profile e2e passed while
  the user's browser didn't — heuristically cached module). Stamp bumped
  to ?v=8 in header + docs; the e2e suite re-verified against the
  rebuilt server.
