title: vacuum tool rework, again
report: |
  (agent) Fewer modes. Left click picks up everything, or only what you've marked once you mark
  something; Shift takes everything for one click. F with the Vacuum (when nothing in reach can be
  used, like a mold or gate) opens the Vacuum menu: a tile per material with ⬇ Pick up and ⬆ Blow,
  plus Pick up everything and Blow one at a time. Clicking the Pick up / Blow out chips on the card
  opens it too. The bag rows no longer have buttons (a small ⬇ shows what's marked); clicking a
  name still blows only that, Q/E still cycles, R still marks under the cursor. T does nothing
  for the vacuum now.
  To check: press F with the Vacuum out in the open, mark coal and copper ore to blow, blow a mix;
  mark copper ore to pick up and vacuum a mixed pile; Pick up everything clears the marks.

## Context

- (owner's answers, 2026-10-24) What bothers you about the vacuum now? "Too many modes". Direction: "F opens a vacuum menu (Recommended)": F with the vacuum opens a dialog like the wall menu: one tile per material with Pick up and Blow toggles. The ⬇/⬆ buttons leave the bag rows. Pick-up modes shrink to two: Everything, or Only marked.

## Subtasks

- [x] Pick-up: everything unless something is marked (no mode variable)
- [x] Vacuum menu on F and on the card chips; bag row buttons removed
- [x] Text, tests and screenshots updated
