Zen Mode Polish & UX Refinements

UX refinements focusing on workspace compactness, keyboard workflows, and empty state navigation helper actions.

  • Compact Mode Labels: Task labels are automatically hidden when Zen Mode and Compact Mode are both active, creating a highly streamlined workspace.
  • Escape Key Dismissal: Pressing the Escape key collapses the task creation panel and blurs focus, resetting inputs cleanly.
  • Empty State Actions: Interactive CTAs enable clearing active filters or immediately creating a task (exiting Zen Mode automatically if needed).
