Follow-up to #630 (the pinned quick-nav bar), addressing two detail-view refinements.

1. Tone down the current-task pill

The current pill was a saturated blue block that read as too loud on an otherwise calm screen. It's now a subtle neutral chip with a gentle bold, primary-coloured label to mark "you are here"; the other pins are quiet unfilled text that recede.

2. Collapsible footer help row

The detail help row had grown to ~15 shortcuts. It now shows only the high-frequency actions by default (prev/next, pinned, execute, edit, status, back) plus a ? more affordance. Press ? to reveal the full set (? less to collapse again).

3. Show/hide the pinned row (T)

A new T shortcut — surfaced in the expanded help — toggles the pinned quick-nav row on/off entirely, persisted via a new pinned_nav_hidden setting. When hidden, the [/] pinned hint disappears with it and the viewport reclaims the line.

The new keymap action is recorded in parity-ignore.json (TUI-only; no desktop GUI equivalent).

QA — real TUI screenshots

Rendered from the actual ty TUI (VHS, seeded isolated instance).

Toned-down pill + collapsed help (default):
pill-toned-collapsed

Expanded help (?) — reveals T hide pinned and the rest:
help-expanded

Pinned row hidden (T) — bar and its hint gone, viewport reclaims the line:
pinned-row-hidden

Tests, golangci-lint v2.8.0, and gofmt all green (incl. new toggle + collapsed-help unit tests).

Two detail-view refinements:

1. Tone down the pinned quick-nav's current-task pill. The saturated
   blue fill read as too loud on an otherwise calm screen. Replace it
   with a subtle neutral chip + a gentle bold/primary-coloured label to
   mark "you are here"; the other pins become quiet unfilled text.

2. Collapsible footer help row. By default the detail view now shows
   only the high-frequency actions (prev/next, pinned, execute, edit,
   status, back) plus a "? more" affordance; pressing ? reveals the full
   set ("? less" to collapse). This declutters the row that had grown to
   ~15 shortcuts.

Also adds a 'T' shortcut (surfaced in the expanded help) to show/hide
the pinned quick-nav row entirely, persisted via a new
pinned_nav_hidden setting. The new PrevPinnedTask-style keymap action is
recorded in parity-ignore.json (TUI-only, no desktop GUI equivalent).
