bc73c713d7 Replace the best-match top-K cutoff with a ranked Relevance column
Semantic similarity has no natural relevance threshold, so instead of
asking the user to pick an arbitrary result count, show every scored
item and surface the ranking directly: a Relevance column appears and
becomes the sort while a best-match search is active, and the previous
sort and columns return when it clears. The merged results are scored
in a single pass in the row provider, so ranks are global across a
multi-collection selection, child items (attachments, notes,
annotations) rank via their top-level item, and equal scores get equal
ranks that order deterministically via the secondary sort fields. Items
without a stored embedding are filtered out.

Each cell renders the score's position within the model's display range
as a bar, so relevant results read as full and the irrelevant tail
reads as empty. The ranges are provisional per-model display constants.
Sorting uses the ranks, which are also exposed to assistive technology
and as the cell tooltip. On a focused selected row the bar
switches to white so the fill doesn't vanish into the accent selection
background.

29bbaf9e6f local semantic search on abstracts
- added environment to run embedding models locally
(transformers.js, ONNX Runtime WASM binary, etc.). The actual
inference execution happens in a separate worker environment (worker.js)
- added local itemEmbeddings table to store embeddings locally
- in advanced preferences, one can select two options for
semantic search model: english and multilingual. English model
(bge-small-en-v1.5) is better for english-only corpus
but multilingual (multilingual-e5-small) is necessary to handle
abstracts with any other language than english. We can add
more language-specific models as needed.
- when the model is selected, Zotero.Embeddings.download
will download the model (quantized ~100mb) and store it locally.
- Zotero.Embeddings.Indexing will start a process to
index all regular items with title+abstract. It happens in batches
and takes some time. The progress will appear in the
advanced preferences pane. Embeddings are inserted
into itemEmbeddings SQL table. For now, the table is local
only, no syncing is involved.
- when embedding model pref is set to "Disabled", the model
is deleted and embeddings table is cleared.
- when an embedding model is selected, quick search dropdown
has a new "Similarity" mode, which will run semantic search
on the current scope of items.
- semantic search does not clearly define what counts
as "relevant" and what is "not relevant". In addition,
it will change depending on the library and query. So
we cannot semantically filter out items the way
it is done via SQL. Semantic search returns the ranking
but items cannot be sorted because it is done by the itemTree
based on column selection.
So in "similarity" quicksearch mode, there is also a dropdown
to select how many top relevant items to keep (top 5 - top 100).
It allows the user to keep the most relevant items depending
on the context, without conflicting with itemTree sorting.
- semantic search happens in-memory. On a large 5K library
it's fast, but we could consider sqlite-vec extension if
needed.

163c27ca79 Keep Advanced Search button visible when the item pane is wide
When the item pane is dragged wide, the items pane is squeezed and the
quick search wrapper kept its intrinsic width and overflowed, pushing the
trailing Advanced Search button out under the item pane. Let the wrapper
shrink so the button stays within the pane.

Fixes #5982

Allow quicksearch to stretch when there is space in the middle pane (#4828)
Per https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/119312/search-window-in-zotero-7-is-too-small

Also, have spinner always occupy space, so that it does not
push quickSearch out of the bounds of the middle pane
when it is very narrow. Respectively,
make min-width of quicksearch a bit smaller.

200e1d7564 toolbar and keyboard navigation updates
1. Toolbarbuttons changes:
	1. “New Library” moved from toolbar to File menu
	2. “New note” on click makes a standalone note
	3. “New attachment” on click adds stored copy of a file
	4. Menuitems from old note or attachment menus moved to the File menu
	5. “Advanced search” removed. Sync and Locate buttons moved to the top-right corner (Locate - temporarily)
	6. Added “Opened tabs” toolbarbutton
	7. Updated tooltips
2. Added a toolbarbutton that reveals collection search field on click. Search field is hidden on blur if empty. Keyboard accessibility via tab/shift-tab.
3. Tab based navigation restructuring. For each component, create a mapping of target ids with desired focus destination for each relevant keyboard event and use that to determine where to move focus next. Fixed bugs with focus wraparound not working when a note or attachment is opened in contextMenu.
4. Make quick-search dropmarker a sibling of the textfield. QuickSearchTextbox does not extend search-textfield anymore. It serves as a container to house dropmarker and textfield as siblings. This is needed to remove focus ring from quick search textbook when focus moves onto the dropmarker.
5. Separate toolbars for item and collection trees. Removed unused code manually setting the width of toolbar section
6. Focusable tabs + keyboard navigation:
	1. Shift-tab from opened tabs menu moves focus to the currently opened tab
	2. When a tab has focus, use left/right arrows to select tabs, or CMD/Ctrl + arrows to move focus between tabs
	3. Enter or Space on a focused tab will select it if needed and move focus to the contentPane of the reader of this tab
	4. Shift-tab from tabs wraps focus around to itemTree or itemPane
7. “New collection” creates collection contextually within currently selected library or collection.
8. Items pane minimum width increase to avoid quicksearch from being squashed
9. Do not move focus to title field of itemBox after itemTypeMenu is closed with ESC.
10. Display all itemTypes without "Show more" submenu in "New Item" meunu. Removed "Store Copy of File" and "Link to File" from "New Item" menu.

fx102: Cleans up scss files, removes shadow DOM use from CEs (#3051)
Removes a huge amount of excessive files and duplication for CE scss.
All CE css is now output in the single
zotero-react-client.css file.

Moving all CE styling into a single stylesheet required removing their
shadow DOMs. It is desirable anyway, since you want to
be able to style CEs from "outside", when embedding in different
contexts.

Shadow removal required some CE code changes to maintain
functionality.

Elements refactored:
- attachment-box (displayed when an attachment (like PDF) is selected in
the item tree)
- color-picker (in the tag color selector)
- guidance-panel (displayed on first run when editing authors for a book
section)
- item-box (info tab in the item pane)
- note-editor
- notes-box (note tab in the item pane)
- quick-search-textbox
- related-box (related tab in the item pane)
- tags-box (tags tab in the item pane)
- zoterosearch (advanced search condition builder form)
