CSS/UX fixes for the nav pill, plus one keyboard-accessibility fix the multi-reviewer audit caught before ship.

• Removed the divider line under the pill topbar when the menu or search panel is open.
• Tall menus now scroll inside the pill on small screens instead of being cut off — the scroll container moved to the grid child (the 1fr row was capped by the container's max-height, so the old overflow-y on the container never engaged), with overscroll-behavior: contain so the page behind stays put and scrollbar-gutter: stable to avoid width jumps.
• Accessibility: focus now lands on the menu's scrollable region on open, so Page Down / arrow keys scroll the menu rather than the page behind it (verified with a live keypress test during review).

Known pre-existing issue (tracked separately, not new in this release): the submenu canvas takeover positions against its parent list item instead of the pill, so it renders as a sliver on scrolled long menus.

First release under the YYYY.MM.VVV version scheme (was 0.1.0). Includes main's WP 6.5 compatibility gating and the new Search Toggle block.

• Accessibility: collapsed pill content and injected search panel now use inert (no keyboard-focusable hidden content); focus restoration on back; :focus-visible outlines; reduced-motion support
• Fixed interactivity store namespace collision that clobbered the pill's init callback
• Hardened slug handling (sanitize_title + wp_json_encode), re-entrancy guard against infinite do_blocks() recursion, pre_render_block short-circuit
• Escaping fixes in menu-toggle/search-toggle render, iconSize clamping, translatable label fallbacks, ABSPATH guards
• Removed dead submenu actions and stale duplicate search-panel markup
• Full multi-reviewer audit + cross-model review; details in #1
