Fixed

 * Fixed media URL classification and deduplication so re-imported media is matched
   correctly instead of being duplicated.
 * UI updates for the settings screen and manage listing.
 * Surfaced sync-status batch failures on the Manage listing. A failed batch of 
   live sync checks now marks every row “Sync check failed” instead of leaving them
   looking verified with no badge.
 * Resolved source post IDs across every post type, not only the ones checked previously.
 * Normalized whitespace in URLs during import.
 * Skipped post types whose REST controller throws, instead of failing the whole
   import.
 * Kept rollback from deleting media that another post still uses.
 * Refused imports over a trashed source-identity claim. Importing over a trashed
   destination copy could previously create a second post claiming the same source
   identity; imports now resolve identity claims across every post status, including
   trash.

Removed

 * Removed obsolete DataViews skin.
