Summary

Link picker: press [ in detail view to see all [[links]] in current entry. j/k navigates, enter follows, esc cancels.
Link following: resolves link text via Store.ResolveLink() (title match first, body substring fallback). Navigates to target entity with backlinks loaded.
Navigation history: following a link pushes current entity onto nav stack. Esc in detail view pops back through history before returning to list. Enables multi-hop link traversal.
Help updated: [ and esc history documented in Detail View section.

Test plan

Create entries with [[links]] between them
Open entry in detail, press [ → verify link picker shows
Select link, press enter → verify navigation to target entry
Press esc → verify navigation back to previous entry
Follow multiple links → verify full history stack pops correctly
Press [ on entry with no links → verify "no links" message
Follow link to nonexistent target → verify error handled
All tests pass (go test ./...)

Press [ in detail view to open link picker showing all [[links]]
in the current entry. Enter follows a link, resolving by title
then body substring. Navigation history stack enables esc to pop
back through followed links before returning to list.

Adds Store.ResolveLink() for non-transactional link resolution
from the TUI layer.

feat(tui): include backlinks in link picker

CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 2m25s

Details

Link picker now shows both outgoing [[links]] and backlinks in
a unified list with section headers. Backlinks follow by entity
ID directly, outgoing links resolve by text. Navigating into a
backlink works the same as following an outgoing link — pushes
to nav stack, esc pops back.
