feat(desktop): rebindable keyboard shortcuts panel

Add a central keybind registry + nanostore so desktop hotkeys are
discoverable and user-rebindable. A titlebar ⌨ button (and ⌘/) opens a
collapsible map grouped by Composer (read-only) / Profiles / Session /
Navigation / View; click any chip to capture a new combo. Overrides
persist to localStorage as a delta against shipped defaults, so future
default changes aren't shadowed by a stored snapshot.

Migrates the previously scattered inline listeners (palette, command
center, new session, sidebar, theme) into the registry, and adds profile
switch/cycle/create + default-profile hotkeys.
