feat(ux): add command palette with Cmd+K global hotkey (PR-4c.3)

SchenLong · claude · SchenLong · commit 05b034fe8fb5 · 2026-04-10T09:47:41.000+02:00
Train 2 PR-4c.3 — global command palette for quick module navigation.
Built on cmdk (pacocoursey) per adversarial finding M5 ("use an existing
accessible primitive, do NOT build from scratch"). Accessible via the
topbar search button or Cmd/Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut.

New infrastructure:
- cmdk@1.1.1 added to dependencies
- NEW: src/components/layout/CommandPalette.tsx — Dialog-based palette
  with fuzzy search over NAV_ITEMS. Searches label, functionalLabel,
  description, and codename. Items grouped by NavGroup (Test | Protect |
  Intel &amp; Evidence) + ungrouped (Dashboard, Admin). Selecting an item
  calls setActiveTab(item.id) and closes the palette. Keyboard hints
  in footer (arrows navigate, Enter select, Esc close).

TopBar integration:
- New search trigger button between spacer and Activity button. Renders
  "Search... ⌘K" on desktop, icon-only on mobile. Click opens palette.
- Global Cmd+K / Ctrl+K keydown listener toggles palette open/close.
- CommandPalette rendered in portal position (z-modal layer) to overlay
  both sidebar and content area.

Conflict resolution:
- PageToolbar.tsx: removed the per-page Cmd+K → focus search handler.
  Global Cmd+K is now owned by CommandPalette in TopBar. Per-page search
  remains accessible via the inline toolbar search input UI.

Tests:
- topbar.test.tsx: added CommandPalette mock (cmdk not available in jsdom).
  All 10 existing TopBar tests pass.
- main-page.test.tsx: 12/12 pass (no changes needed).
- Visual verified in dev preview: Cmd+K opens palette, fuzzy search for
  "scan" shows Haiku Scanner, clicking navigates to Scanner module,
  palette closes. 15 NAV_ITEMS render in grouped sections.
