Add a dedicated 08 GIT view, remove the small rail GIT tab (#36)

Replaces the old rail widget (a raw `git status --short` dump with no
way to act on anything) with a full catalogue view: working tree
changes (stage/unstage/discard/commit, with amend and --no-verify),
commit log with async diff previews, branches (switch/create/rename/
delete), stash (apply/pop/drop/create), MaskShift checkpoints
(restore, reusing the existing runtime APIs) and worktrees
(add/remove) — plus push/pull/fetch as global actions from any tab.

Every mutating action shells out to `git` directly via runCommand,
the same pattern the header's branch readout already used, rather
than going through the agent-facing tool registry.

+Built on the same catalogue chrome as ARSENAL/NETWORK/MOD SHOP above — `/`,
+`tab`/`shift+tab`, `→` and `r` all work the same way — plus its own actions,
+some of which only apply on the tab named:
+
+| Key | Action |
+|---|---|
+| `P` / `L` / `F` | Push / pull / fetch — from any tab |
+| `space` / `enter` | Stage or unstage a change (CHANGES) · switch branch (BRANCHES) · apply a stash (STASH) · restore a checkpoint (CHECKPOINTS) |
+| `a` / `u` | Stage all / unstage all (CHANGES) |
+| `c` | Commit, with amend and `--no-verify` toggles (CHANGES) |
+| `d` | Discard a change (CHANGES) |
+| `n` | New branch / stash / checkpoint / worktree, depending on the active tab |
+| `e` | Rename a branch (BRANCHES) |
+| `p` | Pop a stash (STASH) |
+| `delete` | Delete a branch · drop a stash · remove a worktree |
+
+Diffs and `git show` output load asynchronously into the dossier pane the
+moment a row is selected. Every mutating action shells out to the system
+`git` binary directly, the same way the header's branch readout always has —
+it does not go through the agent-facing tool registry.
