Fix Recycle Bin Sync

[CookieDarb]

What?

Closes #421

Fixes cross-window live sync for Recycle Bin and My WordPress when items (posts, pages, media, and custom post types) are trashed, restored, or permanently deleted.

Why?

Previously, dragging an item into the Recycle Bin or restoring an item while My WordPress was open did not trigger cross-window updates. Additionally, broadcast topic subscriptions were hardcoded to built-in post types (post, page, attachment), leaving custom post types and My WordPress root folder counters out of sync until a manual page reload.

How?

• includes/my-wordpress/window.php & src/my-wordpress/types.ts:
  • Added post_type attribute to default entities (post, page, attachment) and updated MyWordPressEntity interface so custom post types can register their post type slug via desktop_mode_my_wordpress_entities.
• includes/recycle-bin/window.php:
  • Injected recycleBinPostTypes into desktopModeConfig from desktop_mode_recycle_bin_capture_post_types().
• src/recycle-bin/badge.ts & src/recycle-bin/index.ts:
  • Refactored Recycle Bin window and Dock Badge to dynamically subscribe to broadcast change topics (desktop-mode.<post_type>.changed) for all registered post types.
• src/recycle-bin/rest.ts:
  • Emitted broadcast events (untrashed / deleted) upon successful restore or permanent deletion REST requests.
• src/my-wordpress/index.ts:
  • Subscribed to mapped entity broadcast topics to trigger debounced list view refreshes.
  • Subscribed to broadcast topics in renderRoot to dynamically update entity folder counters (e.g., Posts · X, Pages · Y).
• docs/hooks-reference.md:
  • Documented post_type property in desktop_mode_my_wordpress_entities filter reference.
• tests/:
  • Added Vitest suites (my-wordpress-sync.test.ts, recycle-bin-badge-subscriptions.test.ts) for broadcast subscriptions and debouncing.
  • Added PHPUnit tests in myWordpress.php and recycleBinStore.php verifying entity schemas and localized script configurations.

Testing Instructions

1. Open both Recycle Bin and My WordPress windows simultaneously.
2. Trash an item (post, page, or custom post type) by dragging it into the Recycle Bin or via an action menu.
3. Verify that:
   • The Recycle Bin window updates instantly to show the trashed item.
   • The Dock/Tile Recycle Bin badge counter increments.
   • The My WordPress list view and root folder counter update reactively.
4. In the Recycle Bin window, click Restore on the item.
5. Verify that:
   • The item disappears from the Recycle Bin.
   • The Recycle Bin badge counter decrements.
   • The My WordPress window reactively updates its list and folder counter without a manual browser reload.
