keyboard: the one-Esc law — a surfaced layer claims at the document level (keyboard 4 of 4)
Owner ruling (keyboard round 2026-10-06): Esc (or any key) does ONE action, on the topmost active layer. The plan-open-while-dictating double-act was the symptom: the plan popup listened at WINDOW level with no claim, and same-node window listeners all fire — the global chain (registered first) cancelled the dictation while the plan's own listener closed the plan. One Esc, two actions. The law (now the house pattern, documented at the chain): - field-level handlers claim at their element (focus in a field: the field's action) — unchanged, already correct - every SURFACED layer claims at the DOCUMENT level with preventDefault + stopPropagation — document fires before the window chain, so the chain stays silent under any surface - the window chain is the bottom-up fallback: dictation (a live capture, NOT a surface — it survives the Esc that closes a plan or overlay), then abort (escAbortTarget layers its own targets) Converted to the claim: plan popup, session overlay, chain table, settings dialog, setup dialog, the delete/abort dialogs (window-level stopPropagation was never enough — same-node listeners all fire), and the stats popover. Popovers (popover-dismiss), menus, model picker, and the sidebar context menu already claimed correctly. 1427 tests, tsc, lint, build green.
