Claude 4f26534336 refactor: one holder for what a search is
Both front ends had grown their own copy of the same state — the text,
the parse, the debounce, the scope, the sort orders, "is it fair to say
nothing was found yet" — and the copies disagreed on every one of them.
Android parsed the same string about nine times per keystroke across four
debounce windows; Desktop parsed once and had no scope at all. Neither
difference was a decision.

`SearchState` in commons owns all of it. `SearchBarViewModel` keeps only
what a shared holder cannot: a LazyListState, a FocusRequester, invite
routing, NIP-05 resolution, and the seven result flows — the acquisition
of results, which is a cache scan here and a relay callback on Desktop.
615 lines down to 508.

Three things fall out of it:

`SearchInput` carries the text and its parse as one value. Most callers
want the query; a couple genuinely want the characters (a relay finder
matching wss://, an id lookup deciding whether the box holds a pointer or
a phrase), and reading those from a separately debounced flow lets a
collector pair one keystroke's text with another's parse. It also carries
`nameTerms`, which was the most-repeated parse of all — every people and
channel finder re-parsed the whole box to ask for it.

Two debounce windows instead of ten, each named for what it protects:
100ms before a cache scan, 300ms before a REQ, because a REQ opens a
subscription on every search relay and withdrawing it a keystroke later
is traffic nobody wanted. Eight collectors had been declaring the 100
separately, which is not eight policies but one policy that could drift.

`edit {}` writes a filter into the box as text rather than holding it
beside the text. Desktop carried a `ChangeSource` flag to decide whether
to show what was typed or the serialized query; with the box
authoritative there is nothing to decide, and a chip stays something the
reader can delete by editing the words.

One fragility fixed on the way: `listState` is now declared above every
eagerly-shared collector that scrolls it. It was above the only one that
did, and `debouncedForRelays` — a StateFlow with a seeded value, where
the old flow waited out 300ms first — added another.
