Empty marker on the last pre-Reload change. Keep the Reload experiment on reload (3801914), its first change on reload-start (200a1fc), and the unfinished performance investigation on reload-perf-wip.

Esc ran Toggleterm, which hopped between the newest DOC and the newest
TERMINAL. That distinction never earned its keep. It made Esc unpredictable —
which of three panes you landed on depended on their kinds, not on where you
had been — and it could not alternate between two files at all, which is the
case you hit most. Editing two files, Esc did nothing.
The replacement already existed. Last (SPC j j) is "the pane you were in
before this one, whichever it was": it walks the jump stack for the newest
entry naming a different pane and restores its line and column. So Esc, and
Shift-Esc in tty, now run Last, and Toggleterm is deleted rather than renamed
— a third implementation of "go to the other pane" was the thing to avoid.
SPC w t goes with it; the w group is the four directional moves, and the jump
group already had SPC j j.
Held down, Esc alternates. Two files, a file and its shell, a file and a
+Search — all the same, because Last has no notion of kind to get wrong.
This depends on the swap in the same series: Last reads the stack backwards,
and until hopping stopped appending, the pane you came from could fall off it.
windownav.snap needed only its keys and prose changed — its golden did not
move at all, which is the useful evidence here: for the one scenario the old
builtin handled well, Last produces an identical focus sequence.
Coverage for what it did not handle is new: a unit test opens a second FILE by
looking its name and asserts Esc alternates between two panes of the SAME
kind, which is the case that used to be a no-op.
Docs follow: tutor.txt, docs/helix-keys.md, docs/design.typ, and the builtin
index goldens, which are now one row shorter.
75/75 snapshots, both unit suites, and the macOS ABI build all pass.

Left/Down/Up/Right run the existing focusDir (now taking the pane the
builtin ran on, so an executed name acts on ITS pane); the Ctrl-w prefix
routes through the same four builtins instead of calling focusDir itself.
Toggleterm hops between the most recently focused document and terminal
off focus_hist, the MRU the core already rebuilds each sync.
Ctrl-w stays: a tty-mode pane never sees SPC, so it is the only keyboard
way out of one. Its snapshot step now moves focus somewhere (c-w l), which
the old c-w h in that layout did not.
