feat(web): keyboard row navigation on five more list pages - #2572
J / K / arrow keys to move a focused row, Enter to open it and Escape to clear it existed on the traces list, the logs stream and the errors hub, each with its own code. This adds one shared kit module and brings the keys to five more list pages.
apps/web/src/page/kit/list-keys.ts: the document key stream (the traces list's guards, built on @maple/ui/lib/keyboard), the pure focus step, the key to action mapping and the command that scrolls the focused row into view.
packages/views/src/ui/row-focus.ts: the focused row look and its data-focused marker. tableRow and listRow now draw it themselves, listRow and gridListRow take isFocused.

No page was dropped. The focus starts over when the search changes (search, filter, sort, view, tab).
Existing pages:
Traces list: moved onto the shared stream, step and look. Behaviour is unchanged and its scene tests pass untouched. It still does not scroll the focused row into view.
Errors hub: only its focus step moved. Its stream stays, because it lets Shift through for x and keeps Enter for a different set of controls, and its row draws a quieter focused look.
Logs stream: not touched.
Things worth a look in review:
Dashboards and the alerts inbox keep the focused row by id, not by index. Both are live lists that reorder under the reader, so an index would end up on another row.
The key stream stops while one of the page's own selects or menus is open, so its arrows do not also move the row focus.
The dashboards row is drawn in the page, not by a kit component, so it takes the look from the kit constant.
New lab entry /lab/list-keys?page=services|metrics|investigations|dashboards|alerts mounts each page over fixture rows with its key subscription. It is where the screenshots come from.

Each adopted page has scene tests that press the keys and assert the focused row and the navigation Enter causes. The focus step has a plain unit test.
Not seen in a browser: the scroll into view. The lab fixtures fit on one screen, so the command ran but had nothing to scroll.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added keyboard navigation across service, metric, investigation, dashboard, alert, and trace lists using J/K and arrow keys. Press Enter to open the focused row, and Escape to clear focus.
Focused rows are visibly highlighted and scroll into view as focus moves.
Added a lab page with sample lists for services, metrics, investigations, dashboards, and alerts.
Bug Fixes
Alert Inbox incidents now follow a consistent order, and keyboard focus stays with the same incident when the list changes.
Focus resets when list filters, searches, views, or sorting change.
This change adds shared keyboard-navigation utilities and focused-row styling, then uses them across several application lists and the Alerts Inbox. It also adds a fixture-backed lab for the list pages and updates trace and error-list key handling to use the shared utilities.
Adds shared list-key filtering, focus stepping, action mapping, focused-row lookup, and scroll commands. Adds common focus attributes and styling for list, grid, and table rows.
Services and investigations lists apps/web/src/page/services/list/*, apps/web/src/page/investigations/list/*
Adds keyboard focus, scrolling, and Enter navigation. Resets focus when the row set changes, renders the focused row, and adds scene tests.
Dashboard and metrics lists apps/web/src/page/dashboards/list/*, apps/web/src/page/metrics/browse/*
Adds keyboard focus and navigation to dashboard lists and metrics tables. Dashboard focus follows row IDs through favorite ordering. Metrics grid mode has no focusable rows.
Adds ordered Inbox incident focus, key navigation, focused-row rendering, and scene tests. Route changes clear focus when the tab or signal filter changes.
Trace and error list key handling apps/web/src/page/traces/list/*, apps/web/src/page/errors/hub/selection.ts
Uses shared key filtering and focus-step helpers for trace lists and error-hub selection.
Fixture-backed list keys lab apps/web/src/lab/entries/list-keys.ts, apps/web/src/lab/list-keys-fixture.ts, apps/web/src/lab/list-keys-lab.ts, apps/web/src/lab/registry.ts
Adds a lab route with fixture-backed list pages. The selected page comes from the page query parameter, and only that page receives its key subscription.
On narrow screens, keyboard navigation in the Services list changes the focused row without any visual feedback, and Enter still opens that row. Showing the focus state on the mobile list rows would remove the confusion. The other adopted pages show no concrete defects, so this change is mergeable with that small follow-up.

Explanation
The title "feat(web): keyboard row navigation on five more list pages" matches the main change. The PR adds shared keyboard row navigation (J/K or arrows to move focus, Enter to open, Escape to clear) and applies it to the Services, Metrics table, Investigations, Dashboards, and Alerts inbox list pages. The title is concise and specific, and it names the web scope. The PR also adds a lab entry and shared row-focus styling, which the title does not mention, but that is expected for a title.

Below md the table is hidden and a list of links is drawn instead; only
the table marked the keyboard-focused row, so J and K moved a focus no
one could see. selectableRow takes isFocused, the list passes it, and
the scroll goes to the marked row that has a box, since both are marked.
…select's
A row holding DOM focus (a Tab or a click) keeps Enter for itself, so a
J or K left two focused rows and Enter opened the wrong one. A step now
releases a list row's DOM focus; rows of a keyed list carry
data-list-row so the keys can tell them from other controls.
A page stops the key stream while its own select is open and starts it
as the select closes, and the Escape that closed it was still travelling
up to the document: it cleared the row focus too. The stream ignores a
key that was already in flight when it started.
An independent pass drove the preview at 1df98d5 in a real browser (Playwright, signed in as the preview reviewer).
Passed on the two pages that have rows there (services, 3 rows; metrics table, 8 rows): J / K / arrows step and stop at both ends, Enter opens the same URL a click on that row opens, Escape clears, a filter change or a search starts the focus over, typing j and k in the search field goes into the field, Shift / Cmd / Alt / Ctrl with a key do nothing, the command palette and the ? dialog keep the keys, and at a short viewport the last row is scrolled into view (services: 383..436 off screen to 318..371; metrics: 495..534 to 372..411). No console or page errors.
Not testable on this preview: investigations and dashboards are empty there, the alerts inbox needs live sync, and the errors page has no issues.
Two bugs it found, both fixed in 7c2189e19e:
Escape on the open "Metric type" select also cleared the row focus. The page stops the key stream while the select is open and starts it as the select closes, and that same Escape was still travelling up to the document. The stream now ignores a key that was already in flight when it started.
Enter opened the row holding DOM focus (from a Tab or a click), not the highlighted row, and two rows showed a ring. A step now releases a list row's DOM focus, so there is one focused row. This was already the case on the traces list, which shares the fix.
Also in this push, from review: below md the services page draws a list of links instead of the table, and only the hidden table marked the focused row (071d69be53). selectableRow takes isFocused, and the scroll goes to the marked row that has a box.
All three were then checked in a real browser on /lab/list-keys: the select's Escape leaves the same row focused and a second Escape clears it; a focused tr gives up DOM focus on J and one row is marked; at 600px wide the visible list row is marked.
Narrow list, focused row
One focused row after a step
Left as it was (the traces list, not changed by this PR): its focused row is not scrolled into view (the list is virtualised, so it needs the virtualiser's scroll, not a DOM one), and a filter change there does not start the focus over.

Extracts one shared row-keyboard module and row-focus look, moves the traces list onto it and gives J/K/arrows/Enter/Escape to five more list pages. Behaviour is unchanged where it should be, and each page's focusable list matches the rows it draws.
list-keys.ts: one document key stream, pure focus step, key-to-action map and scroll command
row-focus.ts: data-focused / data-list-row marker and look, drawn by tableRow, listRow, gridListRow and selectableRow

The three fixes, driven on the redeployed preview in a real browser (Playwright, signed in as the preview reviewer):
Select Escape (metrics table). J three times focused process.runtime.nodejs.gc.count; with the Metric type select open, Escape closed it and the same row stayed focused; a second Escape cleared it.
One focused row (services). A tr holding DOM focus gave it up on J (document.activeElement went from TR to BODY), one row was marked, and Enter opened that highlighted row: /services/demo-frontend?environments=["production"].
Narrow list (services at 600px). After J twice the visible list row for demo-frontend carried the marker.
