docs(evening): Window:Reload does NOT undo a buffer clobber — close the tab

Self-correction before it misleads anyone at 2am in a tent. §1 told PLN to use
`Window: Reload` to pick up the on-disk desire.tidal fix. That is wrong, and it is
wrong in a way already recorded: Reload restores buffers from Pulsar's SESSION
CACHE, not from disk. PLN's own words when we learned this: "cause reloads dont do
it". The only reliable manual action is to close the tab and reopen the file.

Also names tonight as the trap's THIRD recorded bite, and its nastiest shape so far:
it reverted an on-disk fix within minutes and thereby made a correct fix look wrong
in a verification loop — the earlier instances were noticed as a wrong knob, this one
as a wrong test result.

Close/reopen is the only reliable manual action.
Then, and only then, evaluate it. This is #95 and it is not theoretical any more.
