Fahri Meral 5a638b0a80 variables: the panel does the workflow itself, and rows can be captured
The engine side was called a solid base, but the panel could only list and
apply: variables and datasets were made through commands, which most people
won't find. The reference app's Variables workflow is now what the panel does,
and every button runs a `variable.*` / `dataset.*` command, so the panel and an
agent drive the document the same way.

New commands (all also in Window › Variables, the palette and over MCP):

- `variable.makeTextDynamic` / `variable.makeVisibilityDynamic`: define a
  variable of that kind over the selection, named after what it drives, and
  bind it — one step, as the panel's two buttons.
- `dataset.capture`: record what the bound objects hold right now as a new row
  ("Data Set 1"… ) and make it active. This, rather than typing values, is how
  rows are made: change the art, then capture.
- `dataset.update`: write what the art holds now into the active row. Without
  an active row it says so rather than picking one.
- `variable.rename` / `dataset.rename` (Variable Options…, Rename Data Set…):
  a name is how a variable is referred to, so renaming carries its bindings and
  its values in every row with it.
- `dataset.list` reports `matches` per row: whether the art still holds what
  that row says.

`Document::captured_values` is the one place that reads a bound object's value,
so capture, update and the drift check can't disagree about what the art says.

Panel: the current data set across the top as a dropdown with ◀ ▶; variable
rows with their kind's icon and the name of the object they drive ("Multiple
objects" when it is more than one), a click selecting it and a double click
opening Variable Options; a dataset row in italics once an edit has moved the
art away from what it says; Make Text/Visibility Dynamic, New, Unbind and Delete
below, Capture and Update on a second line; and a (≡) menu with the same
commands for the ones that act on a row rather than the selection.

Checked on Rust 1.99 (the current stable), which is what the review asked for:
cargo xtask ci, all 7 steps pass.
