## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
When a panel is focused, pressing `/` opens an inline filter input at the bottom of the panel. Typing filters the panel's items in real time (case-insensitive substring match). `Esc` clears the filter and closes the input. `Enter` locks the filter (input hides, filtered items remain visible with a `[filter: "…"]` badge in the border title).

Applicable panels: News, Feeds, HN, Sports, Calendar.

Implementation:
- Add a `filter: str = ""` attribute to `DashPanel` or the item-layer widget
- Pressing `/` focuses an `Input` widget docked at the bottom of the panel
- `on_input_changed` re-renders the content filtered to matching items
- `Esc` clears `filter` and dismisses the input
- `Enter` keeps the filter active but hides the input; border title shows `[…]`

Depends on: TASK-005 (focus), TASK-007 (item navigation)
