Fixes the look of a swiped block on a real iPhone (#397). Not merged; waits for kayg.

Cause. In the iPhone simulator, with real touch events, the swipe already picked the block every time; native text selection never won. But iOS paints no selection with the keyboard down and CodeMirror draws only two handles, so a picked block looked like half-selected text.

Fix (packages/editor/src/blocks/, gesture-claim logic unchanged): the approved look from select.html (left circles). picked.ts: blocks slide right on a critically damped spring, a 24 pt ring or filled check circle in the left gutter, 16% accent tint per picked block, no handles. follow.ts: the block follows the finger inside the page and settles back on the same spring. spring.ts: the one spring. Only picked.ts and follow.ts are the look.

Evidence and gates: comment on #397.

On an iPhone the swipe already picked the block (the block bar showed), but the phone paints
no selection with the keyboard down, and CodeMirror draws only two little handles on iOS. So
a picked block looked like text half selected by a finger, and kayg read it as iOS winning.
Reproduced in the iPhone simulator with real touch events: the swipe selected the block in 10
of 10 tries, with two handles and no highlight.

- picked.ts: a picked block gets a rounded tint (a layer behind the text), a filled dot at its
  right edge and a hollow dot on every other block, and no handles or native selection paint.
  It lasts while the selection is the block.
- follow.ts: while the finger swipes, the block follows it (half the distance, at most 56 px),
  a dot fills once the swipe is far enough, and the block springs back on release.
- touch.ts: calls them. The claim logic and swipe-hold.ts are unchanged.
- e2e: the look, the follow and spring back, and a short swipe that selects nothing.
