Dual-pane terminal file manager

port of superfile file-manager midnight-commander dual-pane

Two panes side-by-side, Midnight Commander style. Tab to swap focus, multi-select, sort cycling, hidden-file toggle, delete-with-confirm. Pure-state transition layer — filesystem is injected, every transition is unit-testable.
