What changed

Renaming, moving, or deleting an empty structural folder (pages / styles / scripts) in the Site Explorer no longer pops the "This will rewrite 0 paths" confirmation dialog. Those operations rewrite no page slugs or file paths, so they now apply directly. The dialog still appears whenever there is something to review — real slug/path rewrites, or a blocker to explain.

Why

Two problems, one screenshot:

1. Pointless dialog. Renaming an empty folder showed a confirm dialog reading "This will rewrite 0 paths in Pages" with a generic "Raw URLs in authored content are not rewritten" warning — friction with nothing to confirm.
2. Silent no-op underneath. The confirm-plan commit only rewrote pages[].slug / files[].path. An empty folder's path lives in the section bookkeeping (emptyFolders / expandedFolders / rowOrder), which the commit never touched. So even after clicking Apply, the empty folder was not renamed/deleted — the operation did nothing.

Fixing only the UI (hiding the dialog) would have made the silent no-op worse, so both are fixed at the source.

How

• Core — src/core/page-tree/explorerPathPlans.ts

  • Rewrite plans now carry a folderPathChange { from, to }; delete plans carry the removed folderPath.
  • commit rewrites/removes the emptyFolders / expandedFolders / rowOrder references so empty-folder rename/move/delete actually persist. Non-empty folder renames route through the same rewrite, which also preserves their expansion + ordering (previously lost to the reconcile pruning pass).

• UI — src/admin/pages/site/panels/SiteExplorerPanel/SiteExplorerPanel.tsx

  • A single presentStructuralPathPlan interception applies a plan directly when it has no blockers and rewrites 0 content paths; otherwise it opens the dialog. Covers inline rename, context-menu delete, and drag-drop moves through one code path.

Tests

• Core unit tests: empty-folder rename (with nested descendant), empty-folder move under a new parent, non-empty rename preserves expansion/order, empty-folder delete removes bookkeeping with no descendant items.
• End-to-end store tests (preview → commit → reconcile) for a freshly-created (collapsed) empty folder rename and delete.

Verification

• bun run build ✓
• bun run lint ✓
• bun test src/__tests__/site-explorer/ src/__tests__/panels/ ✓ (all pass)

Pre-existing icon-catalog-integrity architecture failures are environmental (the vendored pixel-art-icons/dist is not built in this worktree) and unrelated to this change.
