tty look motion: n/N on a terminal pane (normal mode only) walk the pane's own output rows — paneCursorLines, prompt/echo rows already blanked by the OSC 133 marks — for the next/prev row whose leading file-ish word resolves through look.resolve (realpath-only, side-effect-free; only the chosen row gets the real look), msel-select it, scroll it into view, and look it via actOnSelection. The modal cursor is the position (no new Pane state), so the walk resumes wherever j/k left it; focus returns to the terminal after the look so n keeps stepping; no wrap; no hit = no-op. Insert mode still splices, tty mode still forwards to the pty. The file-pane search stepper stays separate (different row predicate: the searched file's path prefix vs general resolvability). New snap script ttylook.snap + golden; all 19 baseline goldens untouched and green (20/20).
