🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep keyed non-writable rows fixed during fallback planning.

If the moved row touches a keyless writable neighbor, planPinnedReorder spreads keys over every filtered row. That includes keyed non-writable rows. If the spread changes one of those keys, this check rejects the entire drop. For example, moving a2 before keyless a1, with a keyed offline row after a1, can snap back even though both writable rows could receive keys before the offline row. Allocate fallback keys for writable rows between fixed keyed bounds instead.

Review comment at @apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.logic.ts at line 355:
Update the fallback planning in planPinnedReorder to keep keyed non-writable
rows as fixed bounds instead of spreading keys across every filtered row.
Allocate fallback keys only for writable rows between those bounds so a writable
reorder is not rejected by the assignments.every check when non-writable keys
remain unchanged.
