John O'Keefe a86bdac87e refactor(collections): retire the legacy rules surface — tree-only storage
The pre-tree rules machinery is deleted: no row ever carried a rules
array or a non-default match mode (verified in the dev DB), the web
never read the envelope keys, and the Android app consumes none of it.
Dead code gets no documentation.

Removed:
- PUT /api/collections/:id/match-mode — endpoint, route, and the
  UpdateCollectionMatchMode query. The tree's root mode owns any|all.
- auto_assign_rules / rule_match_mode from every envelope
  (create/list/detail/update), from the create/update request shapes,
  and from the schema: both columns DROPPED (schema.sql carries
  idempotent DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS heals for existing DBs; sqlc
  regenerated).
- The rules CRUD service layer (AddRule/SetRuleEnabled/RemoveRule +
  validateRule + UpdateCollectionRulesJSON), ParseRules /
  EnabledRules / IsSmartCollection, RulesToFilterTree (+ the SSR
  preload branch), the legacy branch of EvaluateSmartMembership, and
  SmartEvalOptions.MatchMode. IsCollectionSmart = tree presence;
  create-path isSmart = collection_type=smart OR a filter_tree.

Kept (live consumers): POST /api/collections/preview still evaluates
rules payloads in memory (the custom-section builder's preview), and
include_auto stays on the list (the Android app sends it).

The custom-section builder's SAVE was already broken — its
stringified auto_assign_rules payload failed request binding (probed
live: 400 invalid request). Create now rejects that payload loudly
with a 400 naming the retirement, instead of silently creating a
hollow static section; custom-section-builder.md carries the flag.
The builder's tree migration remains the flagged follow-up.

Test-side (asymmetry rule — deleted behavior, deleted tests):
TestPodcastSmartCollections rewritten onto trees (mode lives in the
tree root), match-mode subtests and tree_wins_over_legacy_rules
deleted, TestRulesToFilterTree deleted, contract-pin envelope keys
retracted per the contract_pins 2026-10-31 retirement entry. Mirrors
hand-synced: openapi.yaml, bruno create/update, docs/api/*.md,
docs/schema.go, api.d.ts. Full container suite green (155s).

# Get Collection
Returns one collection with its books and, for smart collections, the
computed Up Next entries.
## Example request
```text
GET /api/collections/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
```
## Example response
```json example-response
{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"user_id": "8f14e45f-ceea-467f-a429-0b21bfc0b1a2",
"name": "To Read",
"description": "Books I want to read soon",
"color": "#00FF00",
"icon": "📖",
"view_settings": { "kobo": { "view_mode": "grid" } },
"books": [],
"book_count": 0,
"is_smart": false,
"up_next": [],
"created_at": "2026-10-24 13:57:01.81234 +0000 UTC"
}
```
`created_at` uses Go's `time.String()` format, not RFC3339. `books` and
`up_next` are book-card arrays; `up_next` items carry
`id`, `title`, `author`, `cover`, `format`, `progress`.
## Query parameters
| Param | Type | Notes |
| ----- | ---- | ----- |
| library_id | uuid | optional; scopes items/counts to one library (invalid values are rejected with 400) |
## Response fields
| Field | Type | Notes |
| ----- | ---- | ----- |
| id | string (uuid) | |
| user_id | string (uuid) | owner |
| name | string | |
| description | string | |
| color | string | |
| icon | string | |
| view_settings | object | |
| filter_tree | object \| null | the unified filter tree (qf DSL); null = static |
| books | array | book cards in this collection |
| book_count | number | length of `books` |
| is_smart | boolean | |
| up_next | array | smart collections only: computed next-up entries |
| created_at | string | |
## Errors
| Status | Body | When |
| ------ | ---- | ---- |
| 400 | `{"error": "invalid collection id"}` / `{"error": "invalid library_id"}` | malformed id(s) |
| 404 | `{"error": "collection not found"}` | no such collection |
| 500 | `{"error": "..."}` | unexpected server error |
