fix(engagement): a trigger-bound template may reference the unsubscribe link
Found building module-uo's sixteen in-universe bodies, which are the first
trigger-bound templates in the system to carry an unsubscribe line of their own.

`emailChannel.deliver` computes an unsubscribe token per recipient and merges it
LAST over the projection, so `{{unsubscribeUrl}}` has always RENDERED correctly.
But `variablesFor` takes a trigger-bound template's variable list from the
trigger's declaration, and a trigger has no business declaring a fact about how
the mail was delivered — so the token was undeclared, and the save-time
undeclared-variable check would have refused the first operator who tried to EDIT
one of those bodies. Rendering right and then refusing the edit is the worst of
both.

Nothing had ever taken this path: core's generic `notify.event` declares
`unsubscribeUrl` in its own seed and is bound to no trigger, so `seedByKey`
supplied it there.

Adds DELIVERY_VARIABLES beside AMBIENT_VARIABLES — declared separately because
they apply to a different set of templates. Ambient facts are about the
deployment and reach every body; delivery facts are about the send and reach the
trigger-bound ones, which is exactly the set that is engagement mail.

// ── Templates: resolve, render, seed ───────────────────────────────────────
//
// The seam between a stored `engagement_templates` row and the two body parts a
// transport sends. Everything that needs a database happens here; `emailBlocks/`
// stays pure and synchronous below it.
//
// **A missing row renders the shipped default rather than nothing.** `renderByKey`
// falls back to `templateSeeds.js` whenever the row is absent or its blocks will
// not parse. This is not defensive padding — it is what makes it safe for
// `mailer` to depend on the database for a password-reset body at all. Before the
// first seed runs, after a restore that dropped the table, on a deployment whose
// operator deleted a row by hand: the mail still goes out, in the shipped wording,
// and the `protected` flag stops the last of those from being reachable through
// the API. The same posture `settingsJson` and `resolveThemeTokens` take — a
// stored value that is unusable is treated as absent, never as an error.
