Paragon: Builds QoL -- share codes, unload, remaining AE/TE on hover

- Replace the "favorite" toggle with import-by-share-code: every build
  gets a 6-char realm-unique alphanumeric code on creation; pasting one
  into the BuildsPane share box copies the recipe (name + icon + spells
  + talents) into the importer's catalog as a new build, with a fresh
  share code so the imported copy can be re-shared independently.
- Add C BUILD UNLOAD verb so the client can clear a stale active-build
  pointer without forcing a swap. Wired to a new "Unload (clear active)"
  right-click context menu entry on the active build.
- Per-build tooltip now shows "Remaining if loaded: X AE / Y TE",
  computed server-side as total_earned - recipe_cost. Negative renders
  red so the player sees insufficient-currency cases before clicking
  Load. Suppressed for the active build (HandleBuildLoad short-circuits
  on target == active so the line would be misleading).
- Schema migration 2026_05_10_04.sql: drop is_favorite from
  character_paragon_builds and add share_code CHAR(6) UNIQUE NULL with
  lazy backfill on every PushBuildCatalog (so pre-migration rows pick
  up codes the first time the player opens the panel).

+-- mod-paragon Character Advancement: Build catalog (saved loadouts).
+-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- A "build" is a named, icon-tagged loadout of panel-purchased spells and
+-- talent ranks. Each Paragon character can save many builds and swap
+-- between them via the Builds page in the Character Advancement panel.
+--
+-- Swap workflow (see HandleBuildLoad in Paragon_Builds.cpp):
+--   1. If a build is currently active, snapshot the player's current
+--      panel-purchased spells + per-spec talent ranks into that build's
+--      recipe rows (overwriting the stored recipe).
+--   2. If the active build's hunter pet is currently summoned, unsummon
+--      it to PET_SAVE_NOT_IN_SLOT and store its `pet_number` on the
+--      active build row so it can be restored on swap-back.
+--   3. Reset all panel-bought abilities and talents (refunding AE/TE).
+--   4. Re-buy each spell + talent in the target build's recipe (charging
+--      AE/TE; aborts if insufficient AE/TE -- player keeps refunded
+--      currency in that case and active becomes NULL).
+--   5. Move the target build's parked pet (if any) back to current.
+--   6. Update active_build pointer.
+--
+-- Pet ownership: a parked pet sits in `character_pet` with slot=100
+-- (PET_SAVE_NOT_IN_SLOT), exactly like the engine's stable-master
+-- offload, but tied to the build via `pet_number` instead of any
+-- in-game stable slot. Build deletion drops the parked pet rows
+-- entirely (PET_SAVE_AS_DELETED equivalent) -- player is warned.

+#
+# Run from anywhere; resolves the repository root from this script's location.
+# Typical production layout: sources in ~/src/Fractured, install prefix in ~/azeroth-server
+# (see docs/DEPLOY_LINUX_VPS.md).
+#
+# What this does:
+#   1. git pull on the current branch (optional; can skip)
+#   2. ./acore.sh compiler build  — or  compiler all  for a full clean rebuild
+#
+# Database migrations from data/sql/updates/ run when you next start worldserver/authserver
+# (Updates.* / SourceDirectory in *.conf). This script does not start or stop daemons unless
+# you pass --run-after or set FRACTURED_POST_UPDATE_CMD.

+# Usage:
