ZDDC 53eb58b90b refactor(browse): remove auto-filter rows from header 
The two filter rows (📄 file/ext + 📁 folder) didn't really earn their
header real estate. Browse is for navigating directory structure;
ad-hoc filters across a tree of mixed file types and depths weren't
the right affordance, and the visual weight competed with the column
headers and the breadcrumb. Removed entirely:

  - template.html: dropped both <tr class="filter-row"> rows in <thead>,
    the related "Filter rows" help section, and the empty-state copy
    that mentioned the 📄/📁 rows.
  - init.js: dropped state.filters (file/folder/ext slots).
  - events.js: dropped the .column-filter[data-filter] input wiring.
  - tree.js: dropped recomputeVisibility() and the n.visible plumbing
    in visibleIds() and updateCount(). Render is now a straight depth-
    first walk over expanded subtrees; the count is just total rows.
    setFilter is removed from the public API.
  - css/tree.css: dropped .filter-row*, .filter-row__icon, and the
    browse-local .column-filter rules (.column-filter is also defined
    in shared/base.css for tools that still use it; that stays).

No test changes — tests/browse.spec.js never exercised filters.

browse — directory listing tool

Generic file browser for any directory. Designed to work with ZDDC archives but useful for any folder. Single-file HTML, no install.

How it's used

Two modes, auto-detected at page load:

  1. Online (zddc-server backed). When this HTML is served by zddc-server at a folder URL — which it is by default for any directory under ZDDC_ROOT that doesn't have an index.html — the JS queries the same URL with Accept: application/json to load the directory's listing and renders it as a sortable, filterable table.

  2. Local (FileSystemAccessAPI). Click "Select Directory" in the header to pick any folder on your computer. Works in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). No server required; the directory is read directly from disk.

What it does

  • Lists files and folders with name, size, type (extension), and modified date.
  • Click a folder to expand inline. Children load lazily on first expand.
  • Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse.
  • Type in the filter to narrow to entries whose name contains the substring.
  • Click any file to open it in a new tab — for server-backed pages, this routes through zddc-server's normal handler (so an .archive redirect, an apps cascade override, etc. all work as expected).

Design notes

  • No ZDDC-specific filtering. This tool is intentionally domain-agnostic. The companion archive tool layers ZDDC parsing (project / status / revision filters, tracking-number resolution) on top of the same listing API. Use archive when you want ZDDC semantics; use browse when you just want to see what's in a folder.
  • Default at directory URLs. zddc-server's directory.go serves the embedded browse.html bytes for any directory request with Accept: text/html and no index.html present. This means a user navigating to any folder under ZDDC_ROOT gets a usable browser without anyone having to drop a file into the archive.
  • Apps cascade override. Like every other ZDDC tool, the served browse.html can be overridden per-folder via a .zddc apps: entry. The default is the embedded copy from the binary; operators can pin a specific version or URL if they want.
