Subject: [PATCH] refactor(yazi): render depth-stack list tabs through
 YaziPaneRow primitive
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Convert Discover, Feed, MyShows, and Settings pages from bespoke 3-column
flexbox JSX to render entirely via the shared <YaziPaneRow> parent|current|
preview primitive. Each page now supplies parent/current/preview content
accessors plus labels; the pane row handles layout, borders, focus styling,
and the muted placeholder for the blank parent slot at depth 0.

Replace Solid's children() helper in YaziPaneRow with a local normalizeContent
that hands the raw accessor to a reactive
expression. children() flattens to a stable resolved-nodes array and does not
re-resolve on truthy<->truthy root swaps (e.g. depth switching a pane's root
between a list fragment and an editor), which would freeze the previous
subtree. The insert effect from the reactive expression disposes and
remounts on element-identity change instead.

Add tests/yazi-pages-depth.test.ts covering the nav-store depth-stack
contract the pages depend on (push/pop stack growth, parent-slot data model
across root→child→grandchild→pop transitions).

+/**
+ * yazi-pages-depth.test.ts — task 03 page contract tests.
+ *
+ * The four depth-stack list tabs (Feed / MyShows / Discover / Settings) all
+ * render through `<YaziPaneRow>` with the parent pane reading the
+ * previous-depth frame's list (blank placeholder at depth 0). Their `open()`
+ * action calls `nav.pushDepth(frame)` to drill and the Shell calls
+ * `nav.popDepth()` on `h`. This file exercises the nav-store contract those
+ * pages depend on for every depth-tab, asserting the parent-slot data model:
+ *
+ *   • depth 0  → stack has exactly the root frame (parent pane is blank)
+ *   • drill(l)→ push a child frame; stack length 2, parent = previous list
+ *   • drill(l)→ push again; stack length 3 (Settings sections→items→editor)
+ *   • pop(h)  → stack shrinks; parent returns to the previous list
+ *   • pop(h)  → back at root; parent is blank again
+ *
+ * The visual "blank → list → list → blank" transition is the union of this
+ * data model (which list each depth renders) with `<YaziPaneRow>`'s null
+ * placeholder (covered by yazi-pane-row.test.tsx). Tested at the store level
+ * because the page `open()` closures are not exported and the nav store is
+ * the shared contract all four pages route through.
