Removing one RAG directory destroyed the whole shared ChromaDB collection
(all owners + base index) instead of just that directory's chunks. Shared
root cause: PersonalDocsManager.remove_directory called rebuild_index()
(delete_collection + recreate) then re-indexed only the remaining tracked
dirs (ownerless, never personal_dir). The targeted VectorRAG.remove_directory
that should have been used was itself broken (where={"source":{"$contains":dir}}
selects nothing on scalar metadata and would over-delete siblings), and the
dead do_manage_rag path fired a second unconditional rebuild.
- VectorRAG.remove_directory: select chunks in Python by a path-boundary match
on the stored absolute `source` (dir or dir+os.sep), abspath-normalized.
Keys on `source` (always written), never `owner` -- no migration.
- PersonalDocsManager.remove_directory: call the targeted remove instead of
rebuild_index() + partial reindex.
- do_manage_rag (dead code): drop the second rebuild_index() (hygiene).
- rag_server.py add path: abspath so indexed `source` matches the remove.
No schema change. Prevents future wipes (does not recover already-wiped
vectors). Adds hermetic regression tests at three layers.
Fixes#1660

The delete action looked up the target with startswith() to capture
full_id, but then re-applied startswith() to filter the list — so a
short or ambiguous memory_id silently deleted every memory whose id
shared the prefix, while the success message reported only the first
match. The edit action used the first match and stopped, so the two
actions disagreed on multi-match behaviour. Use full_id for both.
Caught by #1303.
