social: rework sharing to Facebook and Instagram (#356, #16)

What's new

A walk or event posted to Facebook or Instagram used to read like a record of something that had already happened, and once posted there was no way back: no way to nudge people again closer to the day, no way to tell if the post had been deleted on the platform itself, and no way to remove a wrong or duplicate post without leaving NGX. All three are fixed. The default caption now reads as an invitation ("Coming up:" / "Join us on…"), the share panel offers a deliberate "Post again as a reminder" option, checks with Meta before refusing a share so a deleted post doesn't block you forever, and both the album and the walk/event share panels can delete a Facebook post outright (Instagram has no delete API, so that one's still done from the Instagram app). The button also says "Posted" once a post has gone, and explains the short wait while Instagram processes the image.

At a glance

• Default captions open "Coming up: {title}" and "Join us on {date} at {time}"
• "Post now" becomes "Posted" and disables until the selection changes or the window reopens; a note explains the Instagram processing wait
• A "Post again as a reminder" tick box lets an unchanged walk go out again deliberately, without changing the wording
• A walk, event or album whose post was deleted on Facebook or Instagram can be shared again with no workaround; the album panel also has a Refresh button that checks with Meta and drops cards for posts that no longer exist
• Facebook posts can be deleted straight from NGX, from either the album panel or the walk/event share panel, with a confirm step; Instagram posts still need the Instagram app
• Edit album and Add photos now sit in the same row and style as Share to social
