Description
## Summary
Implement channel permission overwrite management with behavior-first parity to Discord's exact role/member overwrite model.
## Scope
- Manage role and member overwrites at the channel and category level.
- Support allow, deny, and neutral states per permission.
- Support category inheritance/sync semantics where channel settings can follow or diverge from the parent category.
- Make effective access understandable before and after saving changes.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Authorized users can add, edit, and remove role/member overwrites from the UI.
- [ ] Effective permission results match Discord-style precedence rules for role and member overwrites.
- [ ] Category sync/inherit workflows are explicit and reversible.
- [ ] Forbidden states update immediately in the product after overwrite changes.
## Operational Notes
- Server owners must retain a recovery path even when overwrite configuration is bad.
- This issue should stay strictly about overwrite management UI and behavior, not broader role-management concerns.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the channel/category permission UI and the existing role/member authorization logic, then trace how effective permissions are calculated. Done means the UI supports overwrite changes, Discord-style precedence, explicit reversible category sync, immediate forbidden-state updates, and owner recovery.
