Extract filter logic to dedicated utility for clarity and testability:
- filterByReadState() - filters by read/unread status
- filterBySearch() - searches filenames and content
- applyFrontendFilters() - composes filters in order

Benefits:
- Explicit separation between git-level and frontend filters
- Better documentation of architecture and rationale
- More testable (filters can be unit tested independently)
- Simpler to extend with new filter types
- Preserves truncation handling (path filter stays git-level)

Net: -11 lines in ReviewPanel, +65 lines in new utility

+ * 1. Git-level filters (affect data fetching):

+ *    - includeUncommitted: include working directory changes
+ *    - selectedFilePath: CRITICAL for truncation handling - when full diff
+ *      exceeds bash output limits, path filter retrieves specific files
+ *
+ * 2. Frontend filters (applied in-memory to loaded hunks):
+ *    - showReadHunks: hide hunks marked as reviewed
+ *    - searchTerm: substring match on filenames + hunk content
+ *
+ * Why hybrid? Performance and necessity:
+ * - selectedFilePath MUST be git-level (truncation recovery)
+ * - search/read filters are better frontend (more flexible, simpler UX)
+ * - Frontend filtering is fast even for 1000+ hunks (<5ms)

- Add FOCUS_REVIEW_SEARCH keybind definition in keybinds.ts
- Wire up global keyboard shortcut in ReviewPanel
- Display keybind hint in search input placeholder
- Update keybinds.ts documentation note about UI discoverability

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Storage changes:
- Add getReviewSearchInputKey, getReviewSearchRegexKey, getReviewSearchMatchCaseKey
- Add to PERSISTENT_WORKSPACE_KEY_FUNCTIONS for fork/delete handling
- Search input, regex toggle, and match case now persist per workspace

Filter changes:
- Extend filterBySearch to support matchCase parameter
- Case-sensitive regex: omit 'i' flag when matchCase is true
- Case-sensitive substring: use includes() instead of toLowerCase()

UI changes:
- Rename RegexButton to SearchButton for reusability
- Add Match Case button showing 'Aa' with active/inactive states
- Both buttons persist per-workspace and copy on fork
- Clear tooltips for both modes

- Unified storage: Single usePersistedState for all search state (input, regex, matchCase)
- Visual cohesion: Removed gaps between input and buttons, connected borders
- Greyscale active state: Changed from blue (#007acc) to subtle grey (#3a3a3a)
- Tooltips: Replaced HTML title with Tooltip component for consistency
- Cleanup: Removed three separate storage keys in favor of one unified key

- Add line-height: 1.4 to both input and buttons for uniform height
- Remove conditional border-left logic that was hiding the border between input and first button
- All buttons now have consistent borders creating a seamless connected appearance

Key improvements:
- Introduced SearchBar wrapper that owns border/radius/focus state
- Children (input/buttons) are now borderless with only internal dividers
- Removed fragile border connection logic (border-right: none, conditional border-left)
- Removed isLast prop - radius now handled by parent's overflow: hidden
- Focus state lifted to parent with :focus-within pseudo-class
- Hover state also on parent, cleaner interaction model
- Buttons use transparent background instead of duplicating parent color
- Simpler, more maintainable with clear separation of concerns

- Created highlightSearchTerms utility to post-process Shiki HTML
- Uses DOMParser to safely inject <mark> tags around matches
- Preserves syntax highlighting while adding subtle gold overlay
- Supports both substring and regex search with case sensitivity
- Threads searchConfig through ReviewPanel → HunkViewer → SelectableDiffRenderer
- Only highlights when search term is present (no performance impact when idle)
- Gracefully handles invalid regex patterns

Phase 1 - React optimizations:
- Memoize searchConfig object in ReviewPanel to prevent cascading re-renders
- Memoize highlighted line data in SelectableDiffRenderer
- Eliminates 50+ unnecessary re-renders per keystroke when typing

Phase 2 - DOM parsing optimizations:
- Add LRU cache (5000 entries, 2MB) for highlighted HTML results
- Cache compiled regex patterns to avoid recompilation
- Reuse single DOMParser instance instead of creating new one per line
- Use CRC32 checksums for cache keys (same pattern as tokenizer)

Expected performance improvement:
- Typing in search: ~200-500ms → <16ms
- Scrolling with search active: Smooth (memoized results)
- DOM parsing only happens once per unique line + search config combination

Replace Map with LRUCache for compiled regex patterns to match the pattern used for highlighted HTML cache. Set max 100 entries which is plenty for typical search usage.

Switch from caching (html + config → highlighted HTML) to (html → parsed DOM).
Benefits:
- DOM parsing only happens once per unique HTML line
- Cache persists across different search terms
- DOM cloning is cheaper than re-parsing
- Allows cache reuse when user modifies search query

Trade-off: We clone and re-highlight on each render, but cloning + highlighting is still faster than parsing + highlighting, and the cache hit rate is much higher.

- Exported escapeHtml() from highlightDiffChunk.ts for reuse
- Added useMemo in HunkViewer to highlight filePath with same logic as diff content
- Uses dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render highlighted path with <mark> tags
- Consistent gold highlight styling (rgba(255, 215, 0, 0.3))
- Zero additional complexity: reuses existing highlightSearchMatches() utility

- Active buttons now show cool blue text color (#4db8ff)
- Added subtle inset blue border/shadow (rgba(77, 184, 255, 0.4)) when active
- Changed active background to blue-tinted dark (#2a3a4a) for cohesion
- Fixed height alignment: buttons and input now fill container completely
- Added display: flex and height: 100% to ensure consistent vertical fill
- Active state is now much more visually apparent while maintaining clean aesthetic

- Fragment, mark elements, and text nodes now belong to the same Document
- Fixes search highlighting not appearing due to replaceChild throwing
