a11y(2.1.1): workflow-current-details — guard global r/R keydown so text inputs can receive the letter

[rosanusi]

Summary

workflow-current-details.svelte registers a <svelte:window> keydown handler that matched r/R unconditionally and called preventDefault(), silently swallowing the character from every text input on the workflow detail page — search box, command palette, filter inputs, activity-options drawer text fields. This PR adds an instanceof guard so the handler bails when focus is inside a text input or contenteditable, and removes preventDefault() (the refetch action has no default to suppress).

One-line diff:

 const handleKeydown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
+  const { target } = event;
+  if (
+    target instanceof HTMLInputElement ||
+    target instanceof HTMLTextAreaElement ||
+    (target instanceof HTMLElement && target.isContentEditable)
+  ) {
+    return;
+  }
   if (event.key === 'r' || event.key === 'R') {
-    event.preventDefault();
     fetchCurrentDetails();
   }
 };

The r/R refresh shortcut continues to fire when focus is on any non-input element. Long-term migration to a modifier-prefixed or focus-scoped shortcut is tracked separately in 2.1.4-global-keydown-shortcuts.md.

Test plan

• Open a workflow detail page. Press r with focus on the page body — confirm current-details refetches (network call fires, timestamp updates).
• Click into the workflow search box. Type relay-worker — confirm every r appears in the input.
• Open the command palette (Cmd+K). Type restart — confirm all r characters are captured.
• Open an activity-options drawer with a text field. Type a word containing r — confirm no characters are dropped.
• Confirm Cmd/Ctrl+R (browser refresh) still works — the handler doesn't match modified keystrokes.
• Screen reader smoke test (VoiceOver): navigate to the detail panel, press r — refetch fires, no AT announcement suppressed.
