fix: handle every rule answer, and keep its failure out of errorOccurred

A second Apply overwrote the pending token, so the first rule's answer
was dropped as stale although its writes had landed: no undo, no pending
count, no accounts. A write's answer cannot be superseded, so the token
is gone and every ruleApplied() is handled. Pending counts are keyed by
generation for the same reason, since a second Apply before the first
count returned dropped the first Apply entirely.

applyRule() no longer emits errorOccurred(). That path reverted an
unrelated in-flight user write and its message was then overwritten by
"nothing to change". The failure travels in the reply instead:
ruleApplied(description, changes, error). openReadOnly() and writeTags()
take an optional error out-parameter so the rule's path stays quiet.
The window shows the error, still records and offers undo for whatever
landed first, and names the rule from the reply's description.

Item 212.
