fix(keys): bind eww/elfeed/calibredb launchers to the uppercase Meta event

Meta+Shift+<letter> emits the uppercase event (M-E/M-R/M-B), so the M-S-e/M-S-r/M-S-b :bind specs on lowercase letters were never reached by the keychord and the three launchers were dead. Rebind them to M-E/M-R/M-B. Three ERT tests assert each chord resolves to eww, cj/elfeed-open, and calibredb respectively.

 ** TODO [#B] prog hooks mutate global state per buffer :bug:quick:solo:
 From the 2026-06 config audit: =prog-go.el:64=, =prog-c.el:73=, =prog-shell.el:77= call global =(electric-pair-mode t)= from buffer setup hooks — one Go/C/shell buffer turns on pairing in org/text everywhere (python/webdev correctly use =electric-pair-local-mode=). =prog-general.el:79-80= — =display-line-numbers-type 'relative= setq/setq-default run from the hook AFTER the mode is enabled, so the first prog buffer of a session gets absolute numbers. Local-mode for the three; move the line-number setqs to top level.

Same class as the text-config M-S-i finding. Write them as "M-E"/"M-R"/"M-B". Weather's M-S-w works only via the keyboard-compat translation layer — audit that layer's coverage while here.

+CLOSED: [2026-06-12 Fri]
+Fixed: rewrote the three =:bind= specs as =M-E= / =M-R= / =M-B= (=eww-config.el=, =elfeed-config.el=, =calibredb-epub-config.el=) so the uppercase event the keyboard actually emits is bound. 3 ERT tests in =tests/test-launcher-meta-shift-keys.el= assert =(key-binding (kbd "M-E"))= etc. resolve to =eww= / =cj/elfeed-open= / =calibredb= (red before, green after). Verified live in the daemon. Open follow-ups (not done here, kept scoped): the "same class" =M-S-i= binding in text-config, and an audit of the keyboard-compat translation layer that makes Weather's =M-S-w= work.
 
 ** TODO [#B] ai-rewrite: chosen directive never reaches the request :bug:solo:
 =modules/ai-rewrite.el:64= — the directive is let-bound around =(call-interactively #'gptel-rewrite)=, but gptel-rewrite is a transient prefix that returns when the menu shows; the send resolves the directive AFTER the binding unwound (verified against ~/code/gptel/gptel-rewrite.el:780-799). The picker's choice is silently dropped — the module's core feature is inert. Set =gptel--rewrite-directive= buffer-locally (restore via =gptel-post-rewrite-functions=) or use a self-removing global hook entry. From the 2026-06 config audit.
