+/**
+ * Reference resolver — turns a DraftReference into plaintext content the
+ * prompt builder can inject. Each kind has its own fetch path (scoped
+ * Dexie read + decryptRecords + module type converter) so we don't drag
+ * the per-module store layer into the writing module.
+ *
+ * M5 scope: `article`, `note`, `library`, `url`. Other kinds
+ * (`kontext`, `goal`, `me-image`) fall through to `null` and are
+ * silently skipped by the generations store — they are on the roadmap
+ * but not required for M5 to be useful.
+ *
+ * Each resolved reference is truncated to MAX_CHARS_PER_REF so a
+ * long-form article can't blow out the token window. MAX_TOTAL_CHARS
+ * caps the aggregate across all references; any extras are dropped
+ * with a note, not truncated mid-sentence.
