Print: keep From the Vault whole; escape build cache + DB from iCloud

- /print: short sections (From the Vault) get break-inside:avoid so they stay
  in one column instead of splitting; long sections still flow column-to-column
- Redirect .next/data/editions to *.nosync dirs via symlink so iCloud (which
  syncs ~/Documents) stops evicting the churning build cache and corrupting the
  open SQLite DB — this was causing build hangs, missing modules, and 500s
- launch.command sets up those symlinks on launch (durable across rebuilds)
