cliffhall 32d6f80bc1 fix: align enumNames when stripping null, and make the JSON fallback typeable
Copilot round 5: one inline comment, two suppressed. All three valid, and two
were defects from round 4's own fix.

1. Stripping the `null` sentinel from an `enum` left the parallel `enumNames`
   untouched. Both renderers discard labels outright when the two lengths
   disagree, so `{ enum: ["a", null], enumNames: ["Alpha", "None"] }` lost the
   `Alpha` label entirely — a worse outcome than the sentinel it was fixing.
   `enumNames` is now filtered by the same indices, and only when it was
   positionally parallel to begin with (a mismatched list is already ignored
   by both renderers, so re-indexing it would invent an alignment the server
   never declared).

2. `enum: [null]` became `enum: undefined`, which widened a schema permitting
   *only* `null` into a plain string field accepting arbitrary text — the form
   would then invite values the schema forbids. Trading a cosmetic problem for
   a correctness one, which was the wrong call. The collapse now declines
   entirely for that case and the field renders through the JSON editor.

3. That JSON editor was still carrying #1928's original mechanism: it stored
   unparseable text back as the *value*, which the next render
   re-`JSON.stringify`d, so typing `[` gave `"["` then `"\"[\""`. Routing
   nullable fields to real widgets removed the common way of landing there but
   never fixed the editor — and #2007's fix deliberately sends object unions to
   it, so a fallback nobody can type into is not a fallback. `SchemaJsonField`
   now holds the draft text locally (the split `SchemaNumberInput` already
   uses) and reports parsed JSON, or `undefined` while the text is mid-edit —
   an inspector must not report a value it cannot send. Keyed by `resetKey`
   like the number field, since it now holds state.

Also replaces an `as unknown as string[]` in the round-4 test, which violated
the repo's TypeScript rules and papered over `InspectorFormSchema.enum` being
unable to model a valid `["a", null]`. The fixture is wire data, so it now goes
through `toFormSchema` — the same wire→form narrowing boundary every production
call site uses.
