Move the default Telemetry Folder out of Documents - #25
Conversation
macOS asks for permission to use Documents, so the default is now ~/Library/Application Support/CodexBar/Telemetry, as Telemetry Spec v1 now says. On launch, CodexBar moves its own Telemetry files out of the old Documents folder when no other folder was chosen, merges same-name files by appending complete lines, and removes the old folder only if it ends up empty.

Once none of CodexBar's Telemetry files are left in the old folder, a flag records the move as done and later launches no longer look in Documents. A symlinked old folder isn't followed, and a source file is renamed out of the matching pattern before its lines are appended, so a failed delete can't make a retry append them twice.

Review comments at @Sources/CodexBarCore/TelemetryFolderMigration.swift:
- Around line 46-57: Update hasPendingFiles() to return true when enumerating
the legacy folder fails, so migration completion is not persisted after an
enumeration error. Keep returning false when legacyFolder() is nil, preserving
the intentional no-op for missing or symbolic-linked folders.

An enumeration error, such as Documents access being denied, was read as nothing left to move, so the move was recorded as done and the files were never moved. It now counts as pending; a missing or symlinked old folder still counts as done.

A crash after the source was renamed but before its lines were appended left the only copy under a name nothing looked at again. The source is now renamed to .merging while it is appended and to .migrated once done; a leftover .merging file is merged again on the next launch and counts as pending, and a leftover .migrated file is only deleted.

Summary
macOS asks for permission every time an app reads or writes Documents, and CodexBar's default Telemetry Folder was
~/Documents/CodexBar Telemetry. Following the Telemetry Spec v1 change in GordonBeeming/bar-ui#22, the default is now~/Library/Application Support/CodexBar/Telemetry, which isn't protected.codexbar-(metrics|logs)-YYYY-MM-DD.jsonlfiles out of the old folder into the new default. It only does this when no other folder was chosen: no storedtelemetryDirectory, or a stored value equal to the old Documents default, which is cleared..DS_Storedoesn't count.AppSettingsno longer registers the default path as aUserDefaultsdefault. A registered default made an unset folder look like a stored one.Test plan
