feat(fp): WP-27 — brief UX layer (undo/redo, standaardbrief, passage search, diff badges)

Brief letter-composition UX improvements:
- undo/redo history in the brief store (snapshot stacks, Ctrl/Cmd+Z) + retry-save
- "Standaardbrief invoegen" starter for empty sections; isDefault library passages
  (backend DTO/seed + adapter parse)
- passage-picker client-side search (rich-text textOf helper)
- rejection diff badges on the letter canvas + show/hide changes toggle
  (pure brief-diff domain fns + spec)
