Subject: [PATCH] fix(automation): stop the list claiming an automation never
 runs

An automation can be triggered two ways, and they are stored in different
places: global triggers live in the automation settings, event triggers live
on the event itself, inside the rundown. The panel only ever receives the
first list.

So the Runs on column was reading an automation attached to ten events as
having no triggers at all, and saying "Never runs" about something that runs
perfectly well. Worse than a missing hint: it taught that event triggers do
not count.

The client cannot honestly answer the question either, since it holds only
the rundown that is currently loaded and a project can have several. So the
column no longer answers it. An empty cell now reads as an em dash, the same
as the filter rule column beside it, and claims nothing.

The "No outputs" tag stays. An automation with nothing to send does nothing
whatever triggers it, and that the panel can see for itself.
