What

A Ctrl+K command palette to jump to anything — catalog assets, workspaces, navigation/commands — plus a plugin extension point that the Music Library uses to search albums/artists.

How

Core palette

Backend search_assets(query, limit) reuses list_assets_impl with a path substring + limit (serde defaults fill the rest), searching every root independent of the current view's filters.
CommandPalette overlay (portal, mounted in Layout for router context): search box, grouped results, full keyboard nav (arrows/Enter/Esc, hover-to-highlight). Asset search is debounced; commands and workspaces filter in-memory.
Ctrl/Cmd+K toggles it — handled before the editable-element guard so it works while focus is in a text field; while open it owns the keyboard so app-level shortcuts don't also fire. Listed in Keybinds.

Plugin contribution point

A PaletteSourceContribution (id, group, async search → items) joins workflows/automation-steps/globals in the plugin model, gated by the same enable/disable filtering.
The palette queries enabled sources in parallel (debounced) and groups their results; re-resolves on plugin toggle.
The Music Library registers a source that searches the audio library by album and artist (full library cached ~30s) and navigates into the music workspace's ?album= / ?artist= views. Returns nothing when there's no music workspace.

Testing

tsc, Biome, full-repo lint, cargo check, and the assets unit tests pass. Verified via make dev: palette opens from anywhere (incl. while typing in the filter box), keyboard nav + select work across all groups, and Music albums/artists appear under a Music group and route correctly.
