#302 cascade-shift later meetings on postpone/reschedule

Backend (artifacts/api-server/src/routes/executive-meetings.ts): - New helpers computeCascadeShift + applyCascadeShift; new schema cascadePreviewSchema; cascadeFollowing flag on postpone-minutes and reschedule. - POST /executive-meetings/:id/cascade-preview returns followers + blockedBy. - Writer paths now SELECT followers FOR UPDATE inside the txn so concurrent mutations cannot lose updates and audit oldStart/oldEnd always reflect the locked-current values (architect feedback). - Reschedule only cascades when same date AND newStart > oldStart. - Midnight rejection rolls back the primary too; named offender is surfaced verbatim to the UI. - One meeting_cascade_shift audit per follower (trigger meeting + delta in the row for replay). Frontend (artifacts/tx-os/src/components/executive-meetings/ upcoming-meeting-alert.tsx): - CascadePromptBlock with loading / blocked / normal variants and data-testids cascade-prompt[-blocked|-loading], cascade-keep-times, cascade-shift-following, cascade-back, cascade-follower-{id}. - runCascadePreview helper with in-flight + busy guard against duplicate submissions; falls through to single-meeting submit when no followers and not blocked. - rescheduleSubmit extracted; cascade_crosses_midnight from server is caught and re-rendered as the blocked variant. i18n: cascade* keys under executiveMeetings.alert in en.json + ar.json (Arabic plural zero/one/two/few/many/other for header + shift action). Tests: - 8 cascade backend tests in executive-meetings.test.mjs (preview shape, atomic shift, skip cancelled/completed, midnight rollback, reschedule delta + no-op cases) all pass. - New e2e "Reschedule cascade — opting in shifts all later same-day meetings". - Made two existing tests (Postpone by 10 minutes, conflict warning) pollution-tolerant by polling for either the cascade prompt or the meeting-postponed audit row. Pre-existing flaky tests (notifications fan-out, postpone race, row color realtime, reorder, status transitions, alert-done/close realtime, reschedule-different-day visibility, cancel/renumber strict mode) are not related to this work and were not modified.

+//
+// Implementation note (per task plan, step 3): we expose a *separate*
+// `POST /executive-meetings/:id/cascade-preview` endpoint instead of
+// piggy-backing on the existing GET-by-day response. The preview is
+// (a) parameterized by `deltaMinutes` (which the GET response does not
+// know) and (b) only consulted by the postpone dialog at the moment
+// the user picks a delta — keeping it out of the day fetch avoids
+// pushing `deltaMinutes` math into every schedule render. The shape
+// returned mirrors the candidate followers that the same-named cascade
+// branch on postpone/reschedule will actually shift, so the dialog and
+// the writer agree on the affected set.
+//
+// "Later" = `start_time >= original end_time` of the primary meeting,
+// matching the plan's contract. Cancelled and completed meetings are
+// skipped on both the preview and the writer paths so they stay in
+// lockstep — a follower the user did not see in the preview will not
+// be shifted by the writer.
