The app's ad-hoc dropdown/context menus each wire their own document-level
outside-click listener, but that listener only removes itself on an *outside*
click. Every other dismissal path -- clicking a menu item (which calls
el.remove() directly), a Cancel button, Escape, or the "close the
previously-open menu" reopen sweep -- tears the node down without
unregistering the listener, orphaning it on `document`. The stranded listener
then lingers and can break the next menu interaction: the recurring "the
button stops working until I refresh the page" class of bug (e.g. delete an
email, then the kebab/more button is dead on the other rows).
Route all 16 of these menus through the existing escMenuStack helper
(bindMenuDismiss / dismissOrRemove), exactly as documentLibrary.js
_showLibDropdown, cookbookRunning.js, and research/panel.js already do: a
single idempotent close() owns the teardown and is released on every dismissal
path, reopen sweeps use dismissOrRemove() instead of a bare .remove(), and
Escape flows through the central LIFO esc-stack arbiter. Net -49 lines.
Menus migrated: cookbook _showDepMenu; document export menu and
_openDocAiReplyChoice; emailInbox _showEmailMenu; emailLibrary
_showReaderMoreMenu / _showCardMenu / _showBulkActionsMenu; gallery
_showGalleryBulkMenu; notes _pickCustomDate / _openNoteCornerMenu; settings
(3 unified-integrations dropdowns); skills _openSkillMenu; tasks
_showTaskDropdown; compare _toggleExportMenu.
Per-menu semantics preserved (anchor-as-inside tests, the tasks 250ms
ghost-click guard, emailLibrary's reader-more-active anchor class and the
bulk-Cancel select-mode reset, settings' reused-vs-recreated lifecycles).
Six menus with custom lifecycles (notes _openReminderMenu, sessions
long-press, document markdown-toolbar, emojiPicker, compare model selector)
are intentionally left for a follow-up -- each needs individual review.

Blind Compare anonymized the pane headers, but each pane still created a helper chat session named "[CMP] <real-model>" and GET /api/sessions returned the session's model field. So the sidebar and the session-list API let a user map "Model A" back to its real model before voting, defeating the blind test.
- Frontend (static/js/compare/index.js, panes.js): in blind mode, name helper sessions by their neutral slot ("[CMP] Model A") instead of the model, matching the existing blind pane labels.
- Backend GET /api/sessions (routes/session_routes.py): blank the model field for [CMP]-prefixed helper sessions via a new _public_model helper.
- Backend /api/compare/start (routes/compare_routes.py): name blind sessions by slot and withhold model_left/model_right/mapping from the blind response (revealed at /vote).
- Tests: tests/test_blind_compare_redaction.py.
Fixes#1285.

The global Escape arbiter in ui.js only sees `.modal` elements, so the many
ad-hoc dropdowns and context popups that are built on the fly and appended to
<body> ignored Escape entirely: document-library card/chat menus, chat
context/stats/overflow popups, cookbook serve & running menus, calendar event
menus, and compare pane menus.
Add a small DOM-free dismissal registry (static/js/escMenuStack.js). Menus
register a dismiss callback while open, and the arbiter closes the
most-recently-opened one first, so a menu opened over a modal closes before the
modal. bindMenuDismiss() wires the ubiquitous "append-to-body, close on outside
click" idiom to both the outside-click listener and the Escape stack in one
call, and dismissOrRemove() lets the pre-existing bulk removers (scroll/swipe/
modal-dismiss cleanup, reopen sweeps) tear a menu down through its real teardown
instead of orphaning its stack entry.
Covers ~14 menus across documentLibrary, chatRenderer, cookbookServe,
cookbookRunning, calendar, and compare/panes. Every teardown path — item click,
outside click, swipe, toggle, rebuild, bulk cleanup — routes through the
registry so no entry is ever stranded.
tests/test_esc_menu_stack_js.py pins the registry's LIFO and
exactly-one-per-press guarantees (node-driven; skips when node is absent).
