Tab: capture ↔ list (clean two-state toggle)
h from list: focus tag rail (spatial — left = rail)
l from rail: back to list (spatial — right = list)
l from list (split): focus detail pane
Tag rail stays ambient — visible, self-documenting, zero cognitive cost until you explicitly navigate to it
# modal still works as fast-filter shortcut

- `Tab`: capture ↔ list (clean two-state toggle) - `h` from list: focus tag rail (spatial — left = rail) - `l` from rail: back to list (spatial — right = list) - `l` from list (split): focus detail pane - Tag rail stays ambient — visible, self-documenting, zero cognitive cost until you explicitly navigate to it - `#` modal still works as fast-filter shortcut

feat(tui): collapsible tag rail with ambient tag awareness b5b7f6b6ee

Persistent left panel showing tags with counts. Provides ambient
awareness of tag landscape without requiring a modal.

- New tagRailModel in tagrail.go: tag list with cursor, scroll, counts
- Rail visible at >=100 cols width, 18% width (min 16 chars)
- ctrl+b toggles rail visibility
- focusTagRail added to focus cycle: capture → tags → list → detail
- j/k navigates, enter filters/unfilters by tag
- Active filter tag highlighted bold in rail
- Tags refresh after entity create/delete/absorb
- Rail auto-hides on narrow terminals, # modal still works as fallback
- Width allocation accounts for rail in split and non-split layouts

fix(tui): simplify focus model — tab toggles capture ↔ list only 60705463c1

Tag rail removed from tab cycle to reduce focus confusion.
Rail is now ambient-by-default, focusable via h from list (spatial).

- Tab: capture ↔ list (no rail, no detail in cycle)
- h from list: focus tag rail (when visible)
- l from rail: back to list
- Split detail reachable via l/enter, not tab
- Remove nextFocusFromCapture helper
