fix(ui): focus, paging and state that a key or a finger can reach

- A key landing on a side panel's tab steps into the card it peeks open, not onto the hidden tab.
- The Channels cards keep their status / pager row at the list's end while the band is folded.
- A menu row's note shows on an enabled row too: the download state under 'Download…', not a title.
- A removal chip hands the focus to its neighbour before it goes, for every caller (the feed's and
  Plex's active filters); the hidden-filter cue's own copy is gone.
- Back to a spot within a page's end spacer lands at the page's end, not its top.
- A running push / revert is tracked per list: another list's push is no longer refused unseen.
