## Summary
Typing in the search bar on the task page could clear or reset the input
mid-keystroke. This fixes the re-render race so the field stays stable
while you type.
## Root cause
Two things compounded:
- `SearchInput`'s sync effect depended on `text`, so it re-ran on every
keystroke and could overwrite the input with the URL/controlled value
while focused.
- Each task row unmounted and remounted its activity chart during the
side-panel open/close animation (25 charts at once), forcing heavy
re-renders that the search effect raced against.
## Fix
- `SearchInput` now tracks the last synced value in a ref instead of
comparing against `text`, keeping the effect off the keystroke path. It
only writes to state when the incoming URL/controlled value actually
changes, and never while the input is focused.
- Activity charts are now hidden (`hidden` attribute) instead of
unmounted during the panel animation, so the rows don't churn the tree
and the resize stays smooth.
