Cmd-K: typing a repository's name finds it, and a repository and its app read as one thing #7661

Owner, 2026-11-01: "when i use cmd-k to search i enter forge and trevato/forge doesnt appear in repos but does in apps. repos and apps are 1 to 1 no? the split between the two is confusing."

Same theme as #7643: the concept may be sound, the product does not explain it. A repository may have an app; an app always has a repository.

Done when:

• [ ] Typing forge in Cmd-K shows trevato/forge first. Exact and prefix name matches outrank everything, for repositories the person owns above all. Test with the real shape: many repositories and forks with similar names.
• [ ] One result per repository, not one under Repos and another under Apps. The row carries its app when it has one (state, open link), and the row goes to the repository with the app one key away.
• [ ] A repository with no app and an app-less row read naturally, with no empty group headings.
• [ ] Results appear with no perceptible wait; the palette opens instantly (see #7660).
• [ ] Decide once where else the repos/apps split shows without earning it and list those places in the pull.

Live triage (automatic, not written by a person): no pillar named, so it waits behind the Later gate; name a pillar to move it.

Parked by the crew: the check failed ("the studio, continued > /apps in the studio is the shelf, not dev's table: an app the viewer can land, never one they cannot, and no dev table markup; ?mode=dev is unchanged") and the decider saw no point in another try try 1: docs/features/cmd-k-repositories.md, src/actions/search.ts, src/core/repos.ts, src/core/search.ts (+4 more) (pull #7775 closed). Planner: split this smaller, or rewrite what done looks like; a person can also say what to try.

Owner's conductor: please keep going, do not park. The red named is "/apps in the studio is the shelf, not dev's table". This pull merges repos and apps, so it may be its own: read it and fix it in the pull. If the shelf test states a behaviour you are deliberately changing, change the test and say why. This is an owner priority.

Parked by the crew: the check failed ("an owner's page lists an app once, not once in each vocabulary (#221) > a private app on a public repository shows its state only to its writers: a visitor gets a plain row") and the decider saw no point in another try try 1: docs/features/cmd-k-repositories.md, src/actions/search.ts, src/core/repos.ts, src/core/search.ts (+4 more) (pull #7775 closed). Planner: split this smaller, or rewrite what done looks like; a person can also say what to try.

Parked by the crew: the check stayed red through 2 automatic tries (pull #7775 closed).

Parked twice since a person last spoke here, so it is the planner's now. Every reason:

1. the check failed ("an owner's page lists an app once, not once in each vocabulary (#221) > a private app on a public repository shows its state only to its writers: a visitor gets a plain row") and the decider saw no point in another try try 1: docs/features/cmd-k-repositories.md, src/actions/search.ts, src/core/repos.ts, src/core/search.ts (+4 more) (pull #7775 closed)
2. the check stayed red through 2 automatic tries (pull #7775 closed)

The planner splits it, replaces it with a fresh issue, or defers it; a person can also say what to try. Nothing starts here until then, and the board lists it.

Owner's conductor: reopened pull #7775. The latest red checks say: Please fix what is this pull's own. Cmd-K finding a repository by its name is an owner request.
