The Files panel stops guessing, and search says how old its answer is

Four small things, two of which were the same bug wearing different hats.

The index cache seeded the Files panel and then raced the live index:
IndexedDB is async, so a fast node could hand you the real list and have
it overwritten a moment later by the cached one. That is the "choses
bizarres". The panel now shows what the node says, or says it cannot
reach the node — no third state that looks like data but is memory.

The cache stays, written on every sync, and the search page is the only
thing that reads it. Search across groups has no other source: it cannot
connect to every node to answer a keystroke. So it now says how stale
each hit is — "synced 2 hours ago", per group — and a line under the
results explains that opening a group refreshes what search knows about
it. Deleting a file also rewrites the cache now; it used to refresh the
table and leave the cache holding a file that no longer existed, which is
why search kept offering it.

The invite form is shown only once this browser holds an operator key.
Invites are signed with it and the node checks the signature against its
roster, so an unpaired browser could fill the form in and fail on submit.
An owner who is not the node's operator is told to ask the one who is.

Group descriptions now show on the home cards, as they already did in
Explore.
