Implement contents action buttons: Rename, Change state, Tags, Properties

Feature Request: Implement Missing Bulk-Action Flows in @plone/contents

Problem

In @plone/contents, the action toolbar already renders four buttons:

• Rename
• Change state / Workflow
• Tags
• Properties

These buttons are defined in:

components/ContentsActions.tsx

However, their handlers in:

routes/contents.tsx:95-99

are currently only no-op placeholders:

() => Promise.resolve()

As a result, clicking these buttons does nothing.

Upload and Delete are already implemented via UploadModal / DeleteModal. These four actions are the remaining gap.

---

Goal

Implement real flows for each button following the existing UploadModal / DeleteModal pattern:

• package-local RAC modal
• route / action
• wiring between route, table, and action toolbar

This should follow the existing implementation plan:

IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
Phase 2.7 / P1 #5–8
