/**
 * Desktop Mode — Files-on-the-Desktop schema.
 *
 * Three custom tables back the system:
 *
 *   - `_desktop_mode_file_placements` — every (user, parent_folder,
 *     type, ref, x, y, sort) tuple. Indexed on `(user_id, parent_id)`
 *     and `(file_type, file_ref)` for two queries we run constantly:
 *     "show me what's on user X's folder Y" and "where else does
 *     this entity appear" (used when an entity is deleted to clean
 *     up dangling placements).
 *
 *   - `_desktop_mode_folders` — folder rows. Owned by one user, with
 *     a share mode (`private` | `users` | `roles` | `all`) and a
 *     JSON `share_meta` column carrying user/role lists. Folders
 *     live independently of where they're placed (a folder placed
 *     on user A's desktop root can also appear inside user B's
 *     "Projects" folder via a placement).
 *
 *   - `_desktop_mode_file_tombstones` — id ledger of removals so the
 *     Heartbeat delta sync (Phase 6) can tell connected clients
 *     "this placement / folder is gone." Pruned daily.
 *
 * dbDelta is the only safe path for schema migrations against the
 * Core tables environment — Phase 6 re-uses this file by bumping
 * `DESKTOP_MODE_FILES_SCHEMA_VERSION` and adding columns.
