logan f18691560d fix(shell): publish the active view, so both navs follow the back path
The nav components learned where the user was from the `navigate`
CustomEvent, which only the outbound path dispatches: `popstate` calls
`handleNavigate()` directly. So a back-navigation left both of them
highlighting the view just left — desktop included, at any width, on
any back across two primary views. Opening a detail view was the same
cause wearing a different symptom: `app-sidebar` guarded on its own
item list and kept its highlight, `bottom-nav` did not and lit nothing.

It cannot be fixed by re-dispatching `navigate` — `index.ts` is that
event's document listener, so that is an infinite loop, and "please go
to X" is not the statement being made. `activeViewStore` is the shell
saying "the active view is now X", once per navigation, `popstate`
included; both navs read it through a controller and hold no
`activeView` of their own.

A store rather than an event because a component that mounts *after* a
navigation still has to know: `bottom-nav`'s drawer builds its
`app-sidebar` on open, and that copy had heard nothing at all, so the
drawer opened on Home from any page in the app.

Closes #72

/**
* Which primary view the app is showing.
*
* The shell has always known this -- `handleNavigate()` sets
* `#main-content`'s `data-active-view` on every path, `_isBack`
* included -- and never told anyone. The nav components learned it
* from the `navigate` CustomEvent instead, which only the *outbound*
* path dispatches: the `popstate` listener calls `handleNavigate()`
* directly. So both navs kept highlighting the view you had just left
* (#72).
*
* The fix cannot be a re-dispatch of `navigate`. `index.ts` is itself a
* document listener for it, so emitting one from inside
* `handleNavigate` is an infinite loop -- and the two statements are
* different anyway: `navigate` means *please go to X*, and 28 call
* sites across 18 files say it. This says *the active view is now X*,
* which only the shell is in a position to say and only once per
* navigation.
*
* Three things about it are load-bearing.
*
* **It is a store rather than an event**, because a component that
* mounts *after* a navigation still has to know. `bottom-nav`'s "More"
* drawer creates its `<app-sidebar>` on open, and that copy had heard
* no `navigate` at all: standing on Albums, the drawer highlighted
* Home -- its `activeView` default, which existed to match the landing
* view and matched nothing else ever after. An event has no answer for
* a listener that was not there; a value does.
*
* **A detail view is not a view here.** Opening one leaves the primary
* view it was opened from lit, which is what #72 asks for and what
* `app-sidebar` used to do by accident -- it guarded on
* `navItems.some(...)`, so a name matching no item left its highlight
* alone. `bottom-nav` had no such guard and so lit nothing on a detail
* view. Neither was correct; the sidebar was stale-but-lucky, and
* stating the rule once is what makes the two agree.
*
* **Whether a view is primary is the shell's fact, not this store's.**
* `VIEW_TAGS` in `index.ts` is the list, and a copy of it here is a
* second list to forget -- so the caller passes the answer it already
* has rather than this file re-deriving it.
