restore point, captured before the first change - #8

Conversation
records how the machine looked before mda touched anything, once, so a botched set or apply has a way back: mda apply initial. it is deliberately not a preset. ~/.mda is meant to be shared, and a restore point that follows a dotfiles checkout onto a second machine both suppresses capture there and offers to restore state that machine never had. it lives in ~/Library/Application Support/mda instead, and the name is reserved so no preset can shadow it. MDA_PRESETS_DIR and MDA_STATE_DIR let the cli be driven against throwaway directories, which is what the new MDATests target does — the wiring had no coverage before because the only way to exercise it was to aim it at the developer's own ~/.mda.

mda apply initial— how the machine looked before mda first touched it. written once, never rewritten.not a preset. lives in
~/Library/Application Support/mda, so a dotfiles checkout can't carry it to a mac it doesn't describe: adr 0002MDA_PRESETS_DIR/MDA_STATE_DIRso the cli can be run against throwaway dirs —Tests/MDATests.
