…ry search handoff In the TUI, pressing j on the last row or k on the first row (or k at the top of the focused detail pane) hands focus to the search input. The wrap is deliberate (back-399), but it surprises vim-style navigation: j/k are expected to stay inside the list, and / and Ctrl+F already focus search directly. Add an opt-out config key, wrapNavigationToSearch (default true), that keeps today's behavior by default and, when false, stops the handoff in the task list, the detail pane, and the kanban board (including empty columns). With the handoff disabled, boundary navigation falls back to the circular wrap both views used before back-399. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
