Conversation
`workspaces::files::mv` and `rm` read the Merkle tree, walk a directory's whole subtree, and write the staged db, all synchronously. oxen-server called them inline from its handlers, and an actix worker runs every connection assigned to it on a single current-thread runtime, so a move or a removal parked every one of those connections for its full duration. `mv` also takes the workspace staged db's write lock, so the park lasts as long as whatever another request is already holding that lock for. Both are now `async fn` wrapping a sync core in one `spawn_blocking` hop, per the sync-core / async-edge policy in docs/async_policy.md. `p_rm` drops its `async`, which it never used, and `mv_sync` holds what `mv` used to do directly. The rename handler's other two reads move off the worker with them: `workspaces::get_async` and `tree::get_node_by_path_async` are new async edges over the existing sync lookups, so the whole rename path leaves the worker rather than only its last step. `test::run_and_report_yield` reports whether an operation let another task run while it worked, which is what the new tests on `mv` and `rm` assert.

The workspace CRUD handlers, the data-frame controller, and the workspace commit path each follow in their own PR.
