refactor(ssr): revert hiccup→Selmer migration; render forms in Hiccup again

Abandons the Selmer-templating step of the SSR re-authoring and moves the four
migrated form/wizard modals back to Hiccup (com/* components), keeping the
whole-form HTMX swap doctrine, top-rooted render functions, and the
session-backed wizard engine unchanged.

- transaction/edit, transaction/bulk_code, invoices (bulk-edit group), and
  pos/sales_summaries render via com/* again; every hx-* swap (whole-form +
  targeted location-cell / totals-tbody / inline account-cell swaps) is
  preserved exactly.
- add com/single-modal-card to centralize the md:w-[950px] md:h-[650px] modal
  chrome that previously lived only in the Selmer modal-card templates.
- delete auto-ap.ssr.selmer, auto-ap.ssr.components.selmer, selmer_test, the
  whole resources/templates tree (55 files), the selmer dependency, and the
  tailwind resources/templates content glob.
- strip Selmer guidance from the ssr-form-migration skill + modernization plan.

Verified: all four namespaces compile and render with no stringified-hiccup
leaks; output.css rebuilds byte-identically (no Tailwind class loss); 60 e2e
specs pass — the four reverted modals (incl. whole-form-swap focus/caret tests)
plus the untouched wizard/pay/new/rule modals.

## Why Selmer for interactive components
In Hiccup the same Alpine/HTMX attribute is sometimes a keyword and sometimes a string in
the same file — there's no rule a reader (or an LLM) can rely on. The real
`com/typeahead-` mixes them in one map:
```clojure
:x-modelable "value.value" ; keyword key
"x-ref" "hidden" ; string key
"@keydown.down.prevent.stop" "tippy?.show();" ; handlers MUST be strings
:x-init "..." ; structural attrs are keywords
```
In a Selmer template the same markup is unambiguous plain HTML:
```html
{# templates/components/typeahead.html #}
<div class="relative" x-data="{{ x_data|safe }}" x-model="{{ x_model }}">
<a class="{{ classes }}" x-ref="input" tabindex="0"
@keydown.down.prevent.stop="tippy?.show()"
@keydown.backspace="tippy?.hide(); value = {value:'', label:''}">
<span x-text="value.label"></span>
</a>
</div>
```
Note the `tippy?.` null-guard carried over from the swap doctrine — Selmer doesn't change
the Alpine-survives-swap requirement.
## The render helper + interop bridge (`auto-ap.ssr.selmer`)
```clojure
(sel/render template ctx) ; selmer/render-file -> HTML string (classpath-relative path)
(sel/render-str template ctx) ; render from a string (tests/REPL)
(sel/hiccup->html h) ; Hiccup -> string, for {{ frag|safe }} inside a template
(sel/raw html-string) ; wrap a rendered string so hiccup2 emits it verbatim
(sel/render->hiccup template ctx); render + raw, ready to drop into a Hiccup tree
```
The bridge works **both ways** (proven in `selmer_test`): a Hiccup component renders inside
a Selmer template (`hiccup->html` + `|safe`), and a Selmer fragment renders inside a Hiccup
tree (`render->hiccup`, which `raw`-wraps so hiccup2 doesn't double-escape).
## The worked example — `location-select*`
Template (`resources/templates/components/location-select.html`): plain HTML, an
`{% for %}` over option maps, `{% if opt.selected %}`.
```clojure
;; Clojure side: build the data, compute classes (reuse inputs/default-input-classes so
;; styling can't drift), render, and return a Hiccup-embeddable fragment.
(defn location-select* [{:keys [name client-locations value ...]}]
(let [options (cond ...) ; [[value label] ...]
selected (or value (ffirst options))
classes (str/join " " (conj (vec inputs/default-input-classes) "w-full"))]
(sel/render->hiccup "templates/components/location-select.html"
{:name name :classes classes
:options (for [[v l] options] {:value v :label l :selected (= v selected)})})))
```
Lessons:
- **Pass computed values in, don't hard-code.** Reuse the Clojure source of truth
(`inputs/default-input-classes`) as a context value rather than copying class strings
into the template — otherwise styling drifts from the shared components.
- **Verify by string-match + e2e, not byte-parity.** `hh/add-class` is set-based, so class
*order* differs from the old `com/select` output; CSS is order-independent and the e2e
proves behavior. (`testing-conventions`: don't assert on exact markup.)
- **Embed via the bridge.** `render->hiccup` lets the Selmer fragment sit inside the
still-Hiccup row (`com/validated-field` wraps it) — strangler, one component at a time.
## Composition — verified mechanics (selmer 1.12.61)
Proven by REPL before the full migration (do the same before relying on any of these):
- **`{% include %}` works in FILE renders only.** `sel/render` = `selmer/render-file`, and
include/extends/block are *parse-stage* tags. Rendering a template **string** that
contains `{% include %}` throws `unrecognized tag: :include` (the runtime expr-tag has a
nil handler). So includes only work from a `.html` file, never from `render-str`.
- **`{% include %}` sees `{% for %}` loop bindings.** Inside `{% for row in rows %}…{% include "components/x.html" %}…{% endfor %}` the partial can read `row.*`. Good for repeated
rows — though Clojure-composing the rows (below) is usually simpler.
- **`{% include … with k=v %}` is IGNORED** in 1.12.61 (the `with` clause is dropped). To
parametrize, either wrap with the block tag `{% with k=v %}{% include … %}{% endwith %}`
(works), or — preferred — let a Clojure wrapper render the partial with an explicit ctx.
## The Clojure-wrapper composition pattern (`auto-ap.ssr.components.selmer` / `sc`)
Because `{% include with %}` can't pass args and the server computes most values anyway,
each shared component is a **thin Clojure wrapper that renders its own partial** (the
proven `location-select*` shape, generalised). The element *structure* lives 100% in the
`.html`; the only Clojure is data assembly. The modal's render fns compose these wrappers
and assemble a view-model, interpolating the pre-rendered fragments as `{{ frag|safe }}`.
```clojure
(sc/hidden {:name :value }) ; -> render "components/hidden.html"
(sc/validated-field {:label :errors } body)
(sc/typeahead {:name :url :value :content-fn }) ; resolves label server-side
(sc/data-grid {:headers [] :footer-tbody } rows)
```
### `attrs->str` — the dynamic-attribute bridge
HTMX/Alpine attributes vary per call site, so a fixed template can't enumerate them.
`sc/attrs->str` serialises an attribute *map* to an HTML attribute *string* injected with
`{{ attrs|safe }}`: `<input type="hidden"{{ attrs|safe }}>`. Rules mirror hiccup2 — nil/false
dropped, `true` → bare boolean attr, else `name="escaped"` (via `hu/escape-html`, so JSON
`x-data` and `x-init` quotes become `&quot;`/`&apos;` and the browser decodes them back).
Keyword keys keep their full name incl. namespaced/colon forms (`:x-hx-val:account-id`
`x-hx-val:account-id`). This keeps templates free of per-attribute `{% if %}` ladders while
still emitting 100% Selmer markup — `attrs->str` serialises data, it does not build Hiccup.
### Reuse the real class helpers
Wrappers reuse `inputs/default-input-classes`, `inputs/use-size`, `hh/add-class`,
`btn/bg-colors` so output matches the Hiccup component **modulo Tailwind class order**.
Verify by class-**set** equality + e2e, never byte-parity (see the cookbook entries).
### Trivial wrapper divs
A bare `<div class="w-72">…</div>` around a fragment is composed with a `wrap-div` string
helper (or put the class in the parent template), not a Hiccup vector — string composition
of a structural wrapper is not Hiccup and avoids a micro-template per div.
Keep `|safe` to values the server fully controls (rendered fragments, JSON for `x-data`),
never raw user input.
## Scope (Open decision 2)
Hybrid, and the boundary is real: **the modal's attribute-heavy components delegate to the
shared `com/typeahead` / `com/select` / `com/button-group-button`.** Converting those is a
*cross-cutting* change (every modal uses them), so it belongs to the Phase 11 Selmer sweep,
not a single modal. `location-select*` is the first, self-contained proof; the shared
components follow when the sweep promotes them to Selmer partials.
## Attribute-consistency scorecard (heuristic 8)
```bash
grep -cE '"x-[a-z]|"hx-[a-z]|"@' <migrated-template> # → 0 mixed encodings in Selmer
```
A migrated Selmer template has no mixed `:x-`/`"x-"` encodings because everything is plain
HTML. (The Hiccup `"@click"`/`":class"` offenders that remain in `edit.clj` live in the
shared-component call sites — they clear when those components move to Selmer.)
