Disclose conflicts in both merge dialogs.

If both books have a clipping with the same ID or a match for the same service, the merge keeps this book’s record. The selected book’s note or match can be lost.

Suggested wording 

-        <span className="block">The farthest-along reading position from either copy is kept. Clippings and service matches are combined.</span>
+        <span className="block">The farthest-along reading position from either copy is kept. Clippings and service matches are combined. For matching clipping IDs or services, this book's record is kept.</span>
-        Choose another copy of this book to merge. The farthest-along reading position is kept, whichever copy it comes from. Clippings and service matches are combined.

Review comment at @app/src/Book.jsx at line 367:
Update both merge dialogs in the Book component to disclose that when clipping
IDs or service matches conflict, this book’s record is kept. Add this
clarification to the existing merge descriptions while preserving their current
wording and behavior.

Explain which stats remain visible when combining is disabled.

With stats disabled, the selected copy’s per-book stats are stored but excluded from this book’s stats, including future uploads under that copy’s document ID. “Future syncs from either copy update this book” does not explain that exception. Clarify it before confirmation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @app/src/Book.jsx at line 368:
Update the confirmation text in the selected.stats span to clarify that when
combining is disabled, the selected copy’s per-book stats remain stored under
its own document ID but are excluded from this book’s stats, including future
uploads under that ID; distinguish this from syncs that do update the book.
