+-- Type-to-search move picker.  The inspector used to change moves by cycling
+-- the catalog one tap at a time -- 165 taps to walk Gen1 -- which is the same
+-- class of friction the species arrows had before #541.  This is the
+-- replacement: one modal list, filtered as you type, committing through
+-- Ops.setMove so an unusable / scalar id refuses instead of asserting.
+--
+-- Modal is literal.  Kit hit-tests without a z-order, so App.draw raises
+-- Kit.blockClicks over the chrome and the panel while this is open and lowers
+-- it only for this overlay; nothing underneath can take the same tap.
