When open_library failed, the desktop app (and the web build) quietly ran
an in-memory session seeded with the demo photos: it looked like a reset
library and everything done in it was lost at quit.
- The session now starts empty and in memory (no demo photos) and
LightcraftApp::library_problem shows a blocking window with the path and
the error: Try Again, Choose Another Library… (app.openLibrary), Continue
Without Saving, Quit. Command-line files are imported once the user has
chosen.
- A temporary session shows a banner under the top bar (with Open
Library…) for as long as it lasts; it has no library, so nothing is
written anywhere. Opening a library ends it.
- ui.inspect → libraryProblem; widget ids for automation; documented in
control-protocol.md.
- Web build: same window (Try Again disabled: reloading the page retries).
- Headless UI test: locked library → window → Continue Without Saving →
banner, nothing written to the library → lock released → Try Again opens
it. Checked in the real app over the control channel too.
