+Keep the loaded gallery and alt-text drafts mounted during image actions and
+refreshes. Show action failures separately from list-read failures. After every
+action, including a failed multi-file upload or reorder, reload image metadata to
+reconcile any partial success without replaying writes. If that refresh fails,
+retain the last loaded gallery but disable mutations until an explicit reload
+succeeds. Failed initial loads show a reload action instead of an empty manager.
+Reload restores keyboard focus to the manager or the retry control. Pending
+operations block conflicting writes and uploads, including drag-and-drop.
