ConnorYoh 6094040e0a Make Auto Rotate's settings editable in the pipeline composer (#7222)
Follow-up to #7152.

## Why

Auto Rotate was already selectable as a pipeline step —
`getExecutableTools` lists any registry tool with an `operationConfig`
and an endpoint resolvable from defaults, which it has. But once added,
the settings pane showed *"Displaying these tool params for editing is
not supported yet"* and the step card read *"Runs with default
settings"*.

Both come from the same cause. `classifyToolStepSupport` keys off the
operation config's mappers:

```js
const hasMappers = Boolean(config?.toApiParams && config?.fromApiParams);
if (!hasMappers) return "unsupported";
return entry.automationSettings ? "editable" : "noSettings";
```

Auto Rotate had `automationSettings` but no mappers, because its custom
processor builds its own FormData and never needed them — so it
classified as `unsupported`.

The more consequential half is `serializeToolStep`, which emits
`parameters: {}` for a mapper-less tool. A composed pipeline therefore
ran Auto Rotate on server defaults with no way to change that. "Runs
with default settings" was literal.

## What

Declares `toApiParams` / `fromApiParams` on `autoRotateOperationConfig`,
mapping `detectionMode`, `confidenceThreshold` and `inferUndetected`.

That flips the step to `editable`, so the composer reuses the existing
`AutoRotateAutomationSettings` panel, and the chosen settings now reach
the backend.

**No backend change.** Policy steps already serialise `parameters` as
form fields and the endpoint already accepts these three — verified
against a running server while working on #7152.

## Testing

- New round-trip test in `toolAutomation.test.ts`: the step serialises
to `{detectionMode, confidenceThreshold, inferUndetected}` and
deserialises back with `support: "editable"`, using the real operation
config.
- `core/hooks/tools/shared` + `portal/components/pipelines` suites: 63
tests pass.
- Typecheck across build variants, ESLint, Prettier.

The composer UI itself was not clicked: the portal is not served by the
editor dev server locally, so the verification is the unit test plus the
render path (`PipelineStepSettings` renders `entry.automationSettings`
when support is `editable`, and the registry entry supplies it). Worth a
click-through on the preview deploy.

## Note for maintainers

While tracing this I found `PIPELINE_OPERATIONS` in
`portal/components/pipelines/pipelineOperations.ts` is exported but
never imported — the composer builds its list from the tool registry
instead. `humanizeOperation` in the same file *is* still used as a label
fallback. Left alone here as it is out of scope, but it looks like dead
code worth deleting separately.
