## Compact Essence filter UI ## Compact Essence filter UI
The former five-button MTG `WUBRG` filters are replaced in both Visual Deck Storage and Visual Database. On either screen, click `Essence: Any` to open a **5-column × 3-row** grid of the complete Essence set. Each icon can be toggled independently and the menu stays open for multiple selections. Use **Clear Essence selection** to reset. The button summarizes your selection, and the original mode control still chooses Exact Match / Includes / Excludes (or Include / Exclude in the database).

The picker is a single reusable Qt widget (`essence_filter_picker.h/.cpp`). This keeps both screens synchronized with `Essence::symbols()` without repeating a hand-maintained UI list.

## November UI stability fixes
The database toolbar now keeps its Essence filtering mode **inside** the picker popup, rather than forcing two separate controls into a wrapping flow layout. Both Visual Deck Storage and Visual Database use one compact toolbar button with a selection summary and tooltip. The popup grid is unchanged (15 icons, five columns × three rows).
When the final selected Essence is cleared, the filter becomes **Any**, including in Exact Match / Include-Exclude mode; it must not leave behind exclusions for all fifteen symbols.
A new Continuumatrice profile starts with a valid, deliberately empty XML card catalogue. The in-memory database now treats a successful empty snapshot as `LoadStatus::Ok`, not `NotLoaded`. This allows the card browser and toolbar to initialize even before the user's first MSE card import. `carddatabase_test` covers this distinction.
