feat(uat-batch-4): a11y form primitives + click-to-preview + EOI empty-state + lint guards

- FieldError primitive (role=alert, aria-live) — used by Wave 3
  form-error UX work.
- FieldLabel primitive (Label + Info-tooltip slot) — foundational for
  the platform-wide admin-settings tooltip audit.
- ESLint guard against em-dash in user-facing JSX text inside
  src/components + src/app (warning, not error; 111 existing instances
  flagged for follow-up sweep).
- FileGrid card body becomes click-to-preview button (was hidden under
  a kebab); aria-label per row; kebab keeps Download/Rename/Delete.
- DocumentList: title cell on rows with signedFileId opens
  FilePreviewDialog; kebab gains Download action (was missing
  per UAT). Single FilePreviewDialog instance lifted to the parent.
- DocumentList type extended with signedFileId.
- EOI empty state: third ghost button "Mark signed without file"
  wired to existing MarkExternallySignedDialog (parity with
  reservation tab).
- Watcher empty-state padding fix on document-detail.

tsc clean. 1419/1419 vitest. lint clean on touched files.
