close out the navigation audit's remaining decide-or-skip items

Jobs step deep-link: skipped, and measured first — selectedKey is plain
useState, not a channel, so it breaks none of this document's rules. The only
thing anchor semantics would buy is a deep link nobody asked for.

Preview slug: void, there is no Preview app.

FileBrowser widget: stays local, and M4 turned that shrug into a rule — only a
workspace guaranteed to host one browser may own the address bar.

Phases 1-4 are now closed except H4 and the New Chat button, both of which
live in the chat nucleus.
