Context

Milestone 5 shipped the dedicated /search two-pane screen. During M5 brainstorming we chose "both" for the search entry point: the dedicated route now, and a global omnibox later. This issue is that follow-up.

Ask

A ⌘K (Cmd/Ctrl-K) command palette, available from any route in the authenticated app shell, that:

  • opens a modal with a query input (reusing the existing useSearch infinite-query hook + useDebouncedValue),
  • shows a compact results dropdown (object name + number + visibility badge; the rich two-line snippet rows from /search are probably too tall for a palette — a one-line variant),
  • navigates to the object on select (/search/:id or /objects/:id — decide which), and
  • is keyboard-driven (↑/↓ to move, Enter to open, Esc to close).

Notes

  • The data layer already exists (web/src/api/queries.ts useSearch, backend GET /api/admin/search) — this is purely a new presentation surface, no backend work.
  • shadcn (Base UI "base-nova" registry) has a Command/Dialog primitive — check mcp__shadcn for an existing palette component before hand-rolling.
  • Consider whether the palette and the /search page should share a results-row component (a compact vs rich variant of SearchResultRow).
  • Reuse the existing search.* i18n namespace; add palette-specific keys at en/sv parity.
