Stopping the bot previously halted conversation syncing too. On the
multi-account path the run-flag check sat above both the reply-sync and
response-check branches, so a stop left only MediaSyncService's coarse
30-minute chat refresh. The legacy single-account path did the opposite
and kept syncing while stopped — one boolean meaning two things.
Replace the boolean with an explicit three-way mode:
running — discover, screen, send, automate replies
scan — refresh chats, detect replies, check responses; send nothing
and discover nothing; actionable replies surface as backlog
stopped — everything halts, including background media sync
scan differs from browser.dryRun, which still discovers and pays for AI
screening before suppressing the send.
The mode persists in runtime_state.bot_mode; a migration backfills it
from bot_running, and rows written by an older build still read
correctly. Both loops now gate on the mode, the account runtime loop
reconciles background media sync on transitions only, and the dashboard
and agent API expose all three states.

New accounts cannot start chats until Reddit considers them established.
Until now the bot would burn a candidate on every invitation Reddit was
always going to reject, with nothing in the dashboard explaining why the
account looked idle.
Two signals feed the verdict. A periodic profile check reads the
account's own age, karma and email verification from about.json and
compares them against configurable thresholds — that is what flags a
brand new account before it wastes anything. A rejected invitation is
authoritative: Reddit has told us directly, so the account is held out of
sending with a backoff that doubles per rejection, and a delivered
invitation clears the flag outright.
An unestablished account takes no new posts (canAcceptPost), raises an
attention item, reports an `unestablished` sending state, and shows its
age/karma evidence on the Accounts page. An unchecked account is always
allowed through, so a first run is never blocked.

Shared foundation:
- New Modal component on native <dialog>.showModal() (focus trap, inert
background, Escape, focus restore, scroll lock); all eight dialogs and
both globalThis.confirm calls migrated to it
- Design tokens for success/warning/danger surfaces; pill danger variant;
.sr-only utility; toast layering above dialog backdrops; not-allowed
cursor for validity-disabled buttons
Conversations/attention: auto-scroll with jump-to-latest, per-conversation
draft persistence, suggestion undo, 30s auto-refresh with refresh controls,
unread emphasis and counts, blur-consistent share dialog, empty-accounts
guidance, collapsed user lookup, relative timestamps, danger pills for
critical items
Media/library/outreach: click-blurred-to-reveal, lightbox with arrow
navigation and captions, dirty-form preservation across refetches, upload
validation with thumbnail preview, save feedback, result counts with
load-more and clear-filters, ticking countdowns from a single clock
Overview/performance/operations/settings: mutation errors inside the
confirm dialog, live sending-window countdown, offline-aware loading
states, per-panel loading/error with retry, 7/30/90-day range toggle,
console scroll yielding with shown/retained counts, risky-save matching
by subreddit name instead of index, useBlocker unsaved-changes guard,
single-pass validation with focus-to-first-error, access panel JSON
validation and input reset
Tests: 806 -> 844 passing; both typechecks clean.
