DL-248
Compass adopts Linear’s leader/mnemonic keyboard-chord model, focus-context-gated (Matt-ratified fork): bare-letter and G <key> leader chords are modifier-less and inherit the EXISTING editable-target guard (dispatch.ts:117-122, extended to cover <select>/combobox/listbox/menu), so focus context — not a per-route switch — is the surface-awareness mechanism (Linear/Slack/Zulip converge here); “lighter on comms” is EMERGENT (a focused composer dormant-gates bare chords), never a per-route disable flag. Composes with the three-tier resolution (DL-222) unchanged.
