Patrick Buckley f8f7152d63 feat(ui): split view returns to the L-shell — PaneManager layout tree
Revives the split-pane feature retired with ui/static (step 6), rebuilt
on PaneManager: an optional binary layout tree (null = the one-pane-per-
tab behaviour, unchanged) renders visible panes as %-inset cells — no
reparenting, so live stream DOM, scroll state and media survive layout
changes. Tabs stay global: the active tab is the focused cell, a
backgrounded tab swaps into it, clicking inside a visible pane focuses
its cell, .shown marks visible-unfocused tabs. Separators resize by
pointer-capture drag and arrow keys (role=separator + aria-value*); the
tree persists in the working-set blob and rehydrate prunes leaves whose
pane did not restore. Limits: 6 cells, 200x150 cell minimums, denials
toast the manager's reason.

Affordance: Split right / Split down / Unsplit buttons in the tab-bar
tail replace the redundant [+] (the permanent Dashboard tab is the
launcher) — deliberately no contextmenu override this time. The dead
TS_APP.focusLauncher seam goes with it.

Measured chrome: the focused cell wears a 2px accent top bar (no thin
tinted ring clears 3:1 in both themes) plus a 55%-mix inset ring;
separators rest at --ink-4 with solid-accent hover/drag/focus; .shown
tabs carry an accent underline; the tail cluster is fenced and lifted
to --ink-3.

scripts/livepass.py grows a third surface: shell/livepass.html boots
the real shell.js + pane.js and drives ?split=right|down|three|none
(+ &theme=light), stamping SPLIT-READY-<cells> / SPLIT-FAILED-<reason>.
