feat(web): add Tab completion to path browser

[colonelpanic8]

Summary

• complete the highlighted directory when Tab is pressed in the path browser
• fall back to the first matching directory when no result is highlighted
• keep focus in the path input while matches are loading or unavailable
• preserve Tab navigation to the highlighted parent-directory entry

Why

The add-project and clone-destination path inputs already display matching directories, but Tab moved focus out of the input instead of accepting a suggestion. This makes the picker behave like a directory autocomplete and addresses #2160.

Validation

• pnpm exec vp test run apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.logic.test.ts
• pnpm --filter @t3tools/web typecheck
• focused vp fmt --check and vp lint on the three changed files
• isolated exact-head browser verification of Tab completion against a disposable project (see evidence below)

Closes#2160

Exact-head evidence

Revalidated at 83ce1aa790b2 on current main (9a0a071): focused tests, vp check, and vp run typecheck passed. The capture uses only disposable local projects.

Note

Low Risk
Localized keyboard handling and pure selection logic in the command palette browse flow; no auth, data, or API changes.

Overview
Tab in the command palette path browser now accepts directory suggestions instead of inserting a tab character or moving focus away.

A new resolveBrowseTabCompletion helper picks the Tab action: parent (..) when that row is highlighted, otherwise the highlighted folder, then a case-sensitive exact name match, and only when the user has typed a leaf filter—the first filtered directory. With no leaf filter, Tab does nothing so browsing an open directory does not auto-enter the first child.

CommandPalette intercepts plain Tab in browse mode (after blocking default behavior), skips completion while browse results are loading or a relative path needs an active project, then calls browseUp or browseTo from the resolver result. Unit tests cover highlight priority, exact vs. prefix matches, and stale highlights.

Note

Add Tab key completion to path browser in Command Palette

• Adds resolveBrowseTabCompletion in CommandPalette.logic.ts to determine the Tab action while browsing: goes up when the parent-directory item is highlighted, enters the highlighted directory, falls back to an exact match, or enters the first filtered entry when a leaf filter is present.
• Wires Tab key handling into CommandPalette.tsx so pressing Tab (no modifiers) in browse mode triggers path navigation instead of inserting a tab character.
• Behavioral Change: Tab is now prevented by default in browse mode; existing keyboard behavior in non-browse modes is unaffected.

With no leaf filter, Tab does nothing so browsing an open directory does not auto-enter the first child.

CommandPalette intercepts plain Tab in browse mode (after blocking default behavior), skips completion while browse results are loading or a relative path needs an active project, then calls browseUp or browseTo from the resolver result. Unit tests cover highlight priority, exact vs. prefix matches, and stale highlights.

Note

Add Tab key completion to path browser in Command Palette

• Adds resolveBrowseTabCompletion in CommandPalette.logic.ts to determine the Tab action while browsing: goes up when the parent-directory item is highlighted, enters the highlighted directory, falls back to an exact match, or enters the first filtered entry when a leaf filter is present.
• Wires Tab key handling into CommandPalette.tsx so pressing Tab (no modifiers) in browse mode triggers path navigation instead of inserting a tab character.
• Behavioral Change: Tab is now prevented by default in browse mode; existing keyboard behavior in non-browse modes is unaffected.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR adds a new user-facing feature (Tab completion for path navigation) which introduces new interactive behavior. While the implementation is self-contained with good test coverage, new features changing user interaction patterns warrant human review.
