The :manual save handler builds its tx-data from the wizard snapshot and stripped the
control fields :action and :amount-mode, but not :mode (simple/advanced) added by the
recent manual-coding work. manual-coding-section* emits step-params[mode] on every
render, so EVERY advanced manual save posted :mode "advanced" into :upsert-transaction
and 500'd with ":db.error/not-an-entity :mode". Strip :mode alongside :action so the
upsert only sees real schema attributes.
Also fix the e2e helper that masked this: selectAccountFromTypeahead poked the Alpine v2
internal `el.__x.$data`, which is undefined on Alpine v3 (this app loads alpinejs@3.x),
so it silently no-op'd and the account posted empty. Drive the typeahead via the real
Alpine v3 path (Alpine.$data + tippy dropdown + click), mirroring transaction-edit-swap.
Unmasks the previously-failing "Shared Location spread on save" test (was first in a
serial file, hiding 7 siblings). Verified: that test passes; transaction-edit-swap stays
6/6. Skill gotchas.md records the :mode-strip rule, the Alpine-v3 API requirement, and
the modal-won't-close diagnosis recipe.
