Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 4.8 ebb1d40361 Trace target: pick from the shared sortable list, with a TRACED lane
The target picker was a hand-rolled two-section list ("Recently traced",
then "Contacts") — the one contact enumerator in the app that didn't ride
the shared ContactListScreen. Move it onto that widget so it sorts,
filters, and steers exactly like the Contacts screen and the courier
recipient: full NAME · HEARD · PKTS · KEY lanes, Ctrl+arrow sort ring,
type-to-filter. Every node type is listed — a trace answers "can I reach
this node?" for a repeater or room, not just a companion.

The recency the old section carried becomes a first-class sortable lane:
ContactListScreen grows an optional TRACED column (opt-in via show_traced)
between name and heard, showing how long ago each node was last traced,
recency-heat coloured. It is the picker's default sort, descending, so the
most-recently-traced node leads and never-traced ones gather at the
bottom. A new repository query (target_last_traced) feeds it, folded onto
contacts the same way the old recent-targets list was.

The free-text prompt stays as the fallback when there are no contacts to
list — still the only way to trace a bare key prefix off-list.

"""The trace tools: path traces, live in the menu, one-shot on the CLI.
A trace is one walked path — the protocol has no destination field, so "target" is
purely a UX notion — and the menu splits the feature along exactly that line:
* **Trace target** (``trace``): *can I reach this node?* Pick a target from a
recency-ordered list; the live screen composes/explores symmetric routes that turn
at the target and come home over the mirrored hops.
* **Trace path** (``trace-path``): *how far can a route I build carry?* No target and
no picker — the whole walk is composed hop by hop and only has to end within our
own earshot. Traces record under the ``(path)`` sentinel, keeping composed walks
out of the target picker's history.
Both open the live trace screen (:mod:`meshterm.ui.trace_screen`) armed but idle:
nothing transmits until Trace is committed, which runs the chosen sample count
(1–8 traces, paced between transmissions — repeaters penalize, and can blacklist,
nodes that burst traffic, so multi-trace runs always sleep a cooldown between sends).
On the CLI each stays a scriptable one-shot: run one trace, print the route and
per-hop SNR, exit.
Both front ends persist identically: one ``runs`` row per trace, recorded under it, so
stored history reads the same no matter where it came from.
