wren: keep owning menus behind nested dialogs

MenuUi choice helpers dismissed their pane before returning a selected
value. Repeating editors therefore opened prompts and submenus over the
main screen instead of over the menu that owned the selected action.

Add callback forms that run the selected action while the choice pane
remains on the modal stack, then dismiss it after nested UI returns.
Use them throughout settings, web-list, font, palette, logging, and sort profile editors so each parent remains visible in its inactive state.

Document the stacking behavior and cover the callback lifetime with a modal-stack regression test.

wren: update main menu hints with focus

The Wren main menu rendered directory editing commands in the footer
regardless of which pane owned focus. SyncTERM Settings consequently
advertised F2, copy, paste, insert, and delete operations which do not
apply to that menu.

Track the active hint set in the classic footer. Retain the directory
commands and conditional paste hint for the directory, while showing
only Help and Exit for SyncTERM Settings, matching UIFC's flag-driven
bottom line.

Preserve the current menu's hint set while editing the comment and
restore the destination menu's hints when comment editing ends.

wren: repaint comment editor on focus changes

The comment input selected its centered inactive or left-aligned edit
rendering from the parent footer's focus. The footer did not gate its
child's activity, so a focus change did not invalidate the cached input surface. Leaving an unchanged comment could therefore leave the edit
lightbar visible until an unrelated update forced a repaint.

Make the footer a focus gate so its input repaints immediately when the
footer gains or loses focus. Restore the established full-row comment
colors and the normal-background margins around the active input.

Use codepoint count when centering comments so multibyte text agrees
with the input cursor and the cell-oriented painter.

wren: restore comment replace-all entry

UIFC entered an existing comment through K_EDIT with its current text
in an initial replace-all state. Typing or deleting replaced the
complete value, while cursor movement or mouse positioning preserved it
and continued ordinary editing. The Wren editor always appended at the
end and kept the whole field in input colors.

Add an explicit transient select-all state to TextInput and activate it
when the main-menu comment receives focus. Keep replacement edits to one onChange callback and dismiss the state through navigation, clipboard,
help, and focus-traversal paths.

Highlight only the existing comment while replacement is pending, then
restore normal menu colors after the cursor is positioned. Document the
new TextInput contract and cover replacement, deletion, movement, mouse positioning, and value reassignment.

wren: restore K_EDIT prompt behavior

The UIFC menu passed K_EDIT for 34 existing-value inputs. The initial
Wren migration only assigned those values to TextInput, causing typing
to append at the end. This affected directory fields, program settings,
sort profiles, web lists, font names, palette components, and repeated
Find queries.

Add SelectOnFocusInput to preserve normal TextInput assignment while
providing UIFC-style existing-value editing. Select the value whenever
the widget gains focus, highlight only selected text, and return to
ordinary colors after cursor movement. Use it for Prompt, Find, the
palette component editor, and the main-menu comment editor.

Reselect palette values after a percent reset, export the new input and
Find through the public UI module, and update the Wren documentation.
Replace the popup test that expected append-at-end behavior with
replacement and movement coverage.

The connection settings editor retained a nearly full-screen

Make Pane own constrained content layout. Measure children again
after assigning their viewport so ListView scrollbar overhead is
included, provide shared screen-fitting operations for natural and

ui: show the end of long prompt values

Prompt initializes a TextInput value before assigning its bounds. The
cursor was placed at the end, but the horizontal viewport remained at
zero because no field width existed yet. This displayed the value prefix
while clamping the visible cursor into the field, then jumped on the
first cursor movement.

Recalculate the TextInput viewport whenever its width is assigned or
changed. Start from the unscrolled position before ensuring visibility
so long values consistently show their trailing characters and a cell
for the insertion cursor.

Cover both direct TextInput layout and the long initial-value Prompt

MenuUi gave every prompt a fixed 34-column minimum and otherwise
sized it only from the label. This left URI, path, password, modem,

included the maximum input length and capped the result to the screen.

Add Prompt.sizeForInput and have the MenuUi wrappers use maxLen as

bounds so an oversized request cannot exceed the standard margins.

Font Details always opened the native file picker at the process

The connected scrollback viewer added its events to the active CTerm

Replace the mask while the viewer is active with exactly its drag and

also preserves subscriptions belonging to a surrounding Wren App.
