-- file-search — launcher provider: the same fuzzy search with the native
-- keyboard flow of the noctalia launcher (type, arrows, Enter).

-- `/fs <text>` fuzzy-matches over the index file the panel builds; when the
-- index is missing it is built here on demand. Activating a result opens it
-- with the system MIME association (xdg-open) — directories open in the
-- file manager. Late async results map back through the query echo of
-- launcher.setResults, so fzf can answer out of band.
