+/**
+ * Toolbar shown above an email list when rows are selected.
+ *
+ * Safety (Phase 4 / UX-Critical): the destructive Trash action now requires an
+ * explicit confirmation dialog, every action surfaces success/partial-failure via
+ * a toast, and rows are only removed from the list when the server confirms the
+ * whole batch succeeded (no more optimistic removal that hides failures).
+ * `onDone(action, ids)` is called only on full success so the caller can prune state.
