feat(tui): always-visible capture bar with focus cycling

Replace drawer-based input with permanent capture bar at bottom.
Focus defaults to capture on startup — open nib, start typing.

- Remove stateInput; route via focusCapture/focusList/focusDetail
- Tab cycles: capture → list → detail (split) → capture
- Esc cascades: clear search → clear filter → focus capture
- Capture bar shows blinking cursor when focused, dims when not
- Intent cycling moved from tab to i (tab now cycles focus)
- Parse preview shown inline in status bar while typing
- Content area constant height (no layout thrash from drawer)
