Book title and author are selectable again on Safari

If you tried to copy a book's title or author text from the main books page on Safari (or any WebKit browser) since the drag-and-drop merge feature shipped, you couldn't — clicking and dragging on the text didn't select it. The merge feature had marked the whole book card as draggable, and Safari refuses to start native text selection inside a draggable element.

This release moves the drag handle onto the cover image only. Title and author text select normally again. Drag-to-merge still works — grab the cover. The merge script also no longer runs on the book detail page, where merging isn't possible anyway.

Thanks @SethMilliken for the report — the UX objection drove the precise scoping.

Verified

Cross-engine probe (WebKit desktop + WebKit mobile + Chromium desktop) confirms title text is programmatically selectable on every grid card, the cover carries the drag source, and the detail page has zero drag-merge bindings. Source-pinned by tests/unit/test_352_drag_merge_text_selection.py.
