feat(sync): bring mailsync.sh here, print to stdout, exit truthfully
The reference sync script lived in the companion mailctl project, which documents that it never calls it: sync and organization are separate there on purpose. qtmaildir is the only thing that runs it programmatically, and two of its behaviours were live bugs here, so it belongs in this repo where the constraints on it are. It printed nothing a caller could see. Everything was redirected to $LOGFILE, so MailSync captured an empty stream and the sync log pane stayed blank, a known limitation carried since 0.1.0. It now writes to both through tee: cron keeps its log, and the pane has something to show. It also ended in an unconditional exit 0, discarding statuses it had already computed. qtmaildir believes that exit code: a failed mbsync reported success, cleared the unsynced-changes count, and would have allowed a sync-on-exit to quit over a sync that never happened, which is exactly the case the exit prompt exists to prevent. It now exits with mbsync's status, or notmuch's when mbsync succeeded. The statuses move through files rather than shell variables because the run block is piped into tee, which puts it in a subshell where an assignment does not survive. Verified against stub mbsync and notmuch binaries in a fake HOME, so no mail or database was touched: output reaches stdout, the log still gets every line, and a failing mbsync or notmuch produces its own exit code rather than zero. Both properties are now recorded in CLAUDE.md, since they exist for this application's sake and an edit that looks like a cleanup would remove them.
