Problem

No way to quickly filter tasks by typing. Must use sidebar category links or URL params. In a list of 50+ tasks, finding a specific one requires scrolling.

Scope

Press / to activate search mode in queue view and kanban view
Inline search bar appears at the top of the view
Filter tasks in real-time as you type — match against task descriptions (title text)
Non-matching tasks are hidden (not just dimmed)
Escape clears the filter and exits search mode
Enter on a filtered result selects it (queue) or focuses it (kanban)
Search state persists until explicitly cleared
Works alongside existing category and status filters (additive)

Technical Notes

Queue view tasks are already client-side (RankedTask[] prop)
Kanban groups tasks client-side via groupByStatus
Filter is purely client-side — no server round-trip needed
isInputFocused() check in keyboard handlers must account for the search input
Vim-style: / enters search, n/N could cycle through matches (stretch goal)
