Address #129 review: one date path, ordered years, trimmed dates

- Every dated tool argument now goes through day() → parseDay, so a prose date on remove_planting / remove_plantings / clear_object (and place, fill, journal) is refused with the same message as update_planting's. - parseDay's trimmed value is what gets stored, not the raw argument. - list_years re-sorts after adding the gardener's year instead of prepending it: newest first holds when their year is the oldest. - ClearSeedLot matches its JSON tag; the label-clearing branch says why nil. - The prompt says the notes are facts to plan with, not instructions. Left as is: update_garden's read-then-overlay merge. UpdateGarden is whole-row by design (the REST PATCH sends every field too), and a service GardenPatch would duplicate gardenFromInput's validation for one caller.
