What to build

From Manage accounts, an Edit control opens Edit Account. The person can change display name and/or password while the Account id stays stable. Password field is always blank with helper text to leave blank to keep the current password; a non-empty value replaces it and re-logins (same api_level ≥ 23 gate as Sign-in). Failed re-login persists nothing. Successful password change best-effort logs out the previous session id, keeps the mark outbox, and if the Account is active resets Selection to Fresh + Unread like switch — but navigation always returns to Manage accounts. Editing an inactive Account does not activate it. Clearing display name falls back to the default username@host label. Changing base URL or username is refused with a clear message until the identity ticket lands.

Acceptance criteria

Manage accounts shows an Edit affordance per Account that opens Edit Account
Edit Account pre-fills base URL, username, and display name; password starts blank with retain helper; primary action is Save
Saving a display-name-only change (including clearing it) keeps Account id and updates the Manage accounts label without re-login
Empty password retains the stored password; non-empty password re-logins, replaces the stored password and session id, best-effort logs out the old session id, and persists nothing on failure
Password change keeps that Account’s mark outbox; active Account password change resets Selection to Fresh + Unread without leaving Manage accounts as the post-Save screen
Editing an inactive Account does not change the active Account
Saving with a changed base URL or username is refused clearly (identity editing is out of scope here)
Automated coverage covers display-name save, blank-password retain, password re-login success/failure atomicity, outbox retention, and inactive non-activation

## What to build From **Manage accounts**, an **Edit** control opens **Edit Account**. The person can change **display name** and/or **password** while the Account **id** stays stable. Password field is always blank with helper text to leave blank to keep the current password; a non-empty value replaces it and re-logins (same `api_level` ≥ 23 gate as Sign-in). Failed re-login persists nothing. Successful password change best-effort logs out the previous session id, keeps the mark outbox, and if the Account is active resets Selection to **Fresh** + **Unread** like switch — but navigation always returns to Manage accounts. Editing an inactive Account does not activate it. Clearing display name falls back to the default `username@host` label.
