title: Lookup modal — new options for assigned serial unit

When a serial unit is already assigned to a card and the user selects it in the lookup modal, present three options:

- **Move it** — reassign the unit from its current card to the target card
- **Add as unassigned** — add the unit to the target card without removing from the current one (creates an unassigned state)
- **Cancel** — close the dialog without changes (renamed from "Keep Here")

Currently the modal only offers a keep/reassign binary choice. This gives more explicit control over unit assignment intent.
