fix(tui): record view settings take typed values

The record view's v dialog was a flat filterable list of 15 pre-baked choices (label width +-4, five child row counts, the collaboration panel listed three times). It is now a settings form like the grid's View settings: Columns cycles auto/1/2, Label width (8-60) and Child list rows (1-50) take typed digits or +/- with Backspace back to the default, one Collaboration panel row, and Reset to defaults with a confirm. Persistence keys are unchanged, so saved settings still load. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

 All notable changes to the qqq CLI and its packages. Versions follow [semver](https://semver.org);
 `@qrun-io/qqq-ui-api-client` follows the UI API version of the document it is generated from.

-## [Unreleased]
-
-### Changed
-
- TypeScript 5.8.3 to 7.0.2 (the Go-based compiler) and `@types/node` 22.15.3 to 26.6.6 across the workspace, `packages/tui` and `packages/tui-spike`. TypeScript 7 no longer loads every `@types/*` package implicitly, so `tsconfig.base.json` now lists `"types": ["node"]`; `@types/node` 26 no longer accepts an `undefined` assertion message, so one conformance test passes a real fallback message. No behaviour change.
-
-### Fixed
-
- The screen saver's Online tile said "nobody around" with two terminals signed in. It now counts signed-in sessions first (the session store's table: sessions active in the last 10 minutes and their users, your own included, "2 sessions · 1 user (you ×2)"), else you plus the people in collaboration presence; it never says nobody is around while you are signed in. The saver also keeps its presence lease on the screen under it (the extension has no idle state), so other clients see you still viewing it instead of gone. A server that stores no sessions and merges presence per user (mock auth) shows both terminals as "1 online · you".
- Query in the screen saver looked like a different dog. All sizes are now generated from the drawing on https://www.qrun.io/query/ (`scripts/gen-query-art.mjs`) in its indigo, with a new medium size (25×13 cells, used where there is room) between the large (42×22) and the small (17×9).
-### Added
-
- **F12 shows and hides the Assistant panel** on every screen (Ctrl+G, `:ask` and a click on `12Ask` do
-  the same). Hiding keeps the conversation, its context and the draft; Esc hides too (with a draft,
-  nothing is asked). The F-key bar has `11` (reserved, blank) and `12Ask` from 120 columns (dimmed
-  without the extension); narrower, the `?` help and F9 › Work say "F12 assistant". F12 is read as the
-  legacy `ESC [24~` and as the kitty keyboard protocol key; README notes macOS's F12 mapping.
- Assistant panel: `u` on a link shows its address.
- Kernel: `parseMarkdown`, `markdownText`, `answerDocument` and `linkTargetKey` (render/markdown.ts): the
-  assistant's markdown as blocks with numbered links, one per target (a filter on the primary key is
-  that record; JSON and base64 filters compare by content).
- **`qqq ui`: the Shift bank.** Shift+F1…F10 are a second row of function keys: Keys (the `?`
-  reference), Servers, SQL (SQL Runner), Bulk, Metadata (refresh), Views (saved views), Copy (into a new
-  record), Export, History and Assistant (the same toggle as F12 and Ctrl+G). Like the primary bar they follow the
-  screen: keys that do not apply are dimmed and say why when pressed. The assignments are one table bound to
-  named actions (`assistant.toggle` and the rest), so other keys can bind the same actions.
- **The F-key bar in two rows** (primary, then the Shift row marked `⇧`) on terminals of 30 lines or more;
-  `:fkeys one|two|auto` and F9 › Settings › F-key bar choose (saved as `ui.fkeyBar`). In one-row mode the
-  Shift row replaces the primary row for 2 seconds after a Shift+F press. Clicks on the Shift row run its
-  keys; `?` lists the bank.
- **One decoder for modified function keys** across terminals: xterm modifier forms (tmux, iTerm2, Windows
-  Terminal), the kitty keyboard protocol, the legacy `ESC [25~`…`ESC [34~` numbering (VT220, rxvt and
-  the Linux console, macOS Terminal.app; `QQQ_FKEYS` overrides the detection) and rxvt's `$ ^ @`
-  suffixes. Ctrl+F-keys are decoded too (no bindings yet).
-
- **Save as PDF…** is the first entry of the UI's printer picker (record `p`, grid Ctrl+P, `:print`; `:print pdf`
-  saves straight away): the server renders the same record sheet, table list or page (printing
-  `printingRenderToPdf`) and the PDF is saved the way downloads and exports are — the save dialog or, with
-  silent downloads, the download folder, the stamped name (`Customer-Ada-Lovelace_2026-11-01_120301.pdf`), no
-  silent overwrite. The CLI's `qqq print`, `qqq print list` and `qqq print text` take `--to-file [path]` (a
-  folder, a file, or the download folder by default).
- Ctrl+P on screens that are not records or grids asks **Print what?**: **Content** (the default: the screen's
-  panels as a document with their titles, without navigation or borders) or **Screen** (the terminal as drawn).
- Every printed or saved page carries the app's header (instance name, breadcrumb, server, user, time in the
-  profile's date format) and footer (`qqq ui <version> · <server>` or `qqq <version> · <server>`, a grid's filter
-  and sort, page n of m); the CLI sends the same.
- `scripts/print-agent.sh` prints to `~/Downloads` unless `QQQ_PRINT_OUT` says otherwise (`--dir` reports it).
- The kernel adds `renderToPdf`, `renderValues`, `canSaveAsPdf`, `chromeValues` and content sections on text
-  prints; the TUI's breadcrumbs moved to `breadcrumbs.ts`.
- **`qqq ui` starts on a splash**: Query (the qrun.io mascot) blinking and wagging while it boots, the `qqq`
-  wordmark, the version and a status line that follows the boot (reading profiles, connecting, signing in,
-  loading metadata with the table count). Large Query from about 34 rows, the small one beside the
-  wordmark at 80×24, plain characters under `--ascii`; any key stops the animation, not the boot; shown at
-  least 600 ms. `--no-splash`, `QQQ_UI_NO_SPLASH=1` or F9 › Settings › Splash on start (`:splash on|off`,
-  saved as `ui.splash`) skip it.
- **A profile picker on start**: with several profiles and none named (`--profile`, `QQQ_PROFILE`,
-  `--server`, `QQQ_SERVER`), the Servers picker opens over the splash with the last used profile selected;
-  Enter connects, `n` adds, the server status fills in as the probes answer, Esc quits with a one-line hint
-  about `--profile`. With no profile at all the add form opens directly; with exactly one, it connects.
- **Connection failures stay on the splash** with the reason: Enter retries, `c` chooses another profile, `n`
-  adds one, Esc quits (instead of the bare error on the sign-in screen).
-
-### Changed
-
- With several profiles and none named, `qqq ui` asks which to connect to instead of using the default
-  profile (`--profile` or `QQQ_PROFILE` keeps the old behaviour).
-
-### Fixed
-
- **The assistant's answers render** instead of showing raw markdown, in the TUI panel and in
-  `qqq assistant ask`: HTML entities decoded (`healthy&#58;` was shown as is), headings, wrapped
-  paragraphs, lists, bold and code, and pipe tables laid out as a grid (CLI: sub-tables) instead of `| --- |`
-  rows. Links show as `label ↗` (CLI: `label (qqq table get …)` or `label [n]` with the command under
-  Links), never their URL-encoded `/app/...?filter=` targets; the tool results' links are listed only
-  when the text does not already show the same target, so `db_performance` no longer appears three times.
-  Exact duplicate paragraphs are shown once; the timing and token line stays, dimmed.
- **Shift+F3 and the other modified F3s** (`ESC [1;2R`) no longer vanish: OpenTUI took them for cursor
-  position reports. They are rewritten on the input stream into `ESC [13;2~` outside the startup
-  cursor-query window.

-`qqq` wordmark, "Terminal client for QQQ", the version (`qqq 1.0.0 · UI API client 1.8.0`) and one status
-line that follows the boot: reading profiles, connecting to the server, signing in, loading metadata (with
-the table count). The large Query needs about 34 rows; smaller terminals (80×24) get the small Query beside
-the wordmark, very small ones the text alone; `--ascii` draws it all in plain characters. Any key stops the
-animation (not the boot). The splash stays at least 600 ms so it never just flashes, then Home opens as
-before. `--no-splash`, `QQQ_UI_NO_SPLASH=1`, or F9 › Settings › **Splash on start: off** (`:splash off`,

-Which server:
-
- `--profile`, `QQQ_PROFILE`, `--server` or `QQQ_SERVER` names one: it connects straight away. So does a
-  config with exactly one profile.
- Several profiles and none named: the **Servers picker** opens over the splash (the rows of the Servers
-  dialog, [Servers](#servers): name, short name, server, status, last used; who is signed in, the sign-in,
-  the description), with the last used profile selected. Enter connects; `n` adds a profile, `e` edits, typing
-  filters; the status column fills in as the servers answer (the picker never waits for them). Esc quits and
-  prints how to skip the picker (`--profile NAME` or `QQQ_PROFILE`).
- No profile at all (the first run): the add form opens directly; saving connects to the new profile. Esc
-  closes it; then `n` opens it again and Esc quits.
-
-The sign-in runs as before (a MOCK or anonymous session, the OAuth2 browser or device flow with the address
-or code on the splash, the username and password dialog). A failure stays on the splash with the reason:
-Enter (or `r`) retries, `c` opens the picker to choose another profile (Esc there returns), `n` adds one,
-Esc quits. Ctrl+O opens the picker too. With `--no-splash` the sign-in screen comes first, as in 1.0.0,
