Adds a text input at the top of the sidebar that filters visible instances by substring match against the instance name (case-insensitive). Particularly useful for users with 8+ instances where scanning the sidebar gets slow. - Global "/" key focuses the filter (skipped while typing in another input/textarea/contenteditable so it doesn't steal mid-sentence). - Esc in the filter clears the text; if already empty, blurs the input. - Enter activates the first matching instance and blurs the input. - "×" clear button appears when there's text. - Groups with no matching instances are hidden while a filter is active (so the user sees only what they searched for); when the filter is empty, empty groups stay visible so the "Drop an instance here" affordance still works. - The filter input is hidden in compact-sidebar mode (sidebar is too narrow to render it usefully there). Purely renderer-side — no IPC, no main-process changes, no schema additions. 178/178 tests still pass, typecheck + build clean.
