MAESTRO: Document and test file rename handling in Document Graph

Verified that file renames are handled gracefully by the existing
debouncing architecture. Chokidar emits unlink + add events for
renames (by design), which are batched within the 500ms debounce
window. The graph rebuild correctly removes the old node and adds
the new node with smooth animations.

Added comprehensive documentation explaining the rename handling
flow and 9 new tests covering various rename scenarios including
cross-directory moves, multiple concurrent renames, and case-only
renames on macOS.

/**
* File Rename Handling Tests
*
* Chokidar does not emit a native "rename" event. Instead, file renames are
* reported as two separate events:
* 1. 'unlink' for the old file path
* 2. 'add' for the new file path
*
* The Document Graph handles renames gracefully because:
* - Both events are batched together within the 500ms debounce window
* - The renderer receives both events in a single batch
* - The graph rebuild treats this as "remove old node, add new node"
* - Position preservation ensures the new node appears in a sensible location
*
* See: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/issues/303
