Codeman maintainer c50bb02e62 feat(file-viewer): show hidden files and folders
The tree endpoint has accepted `showHidden=true` since it was written; the
panel hardcoded `showHidden=false`, so dot-prefixed entries were unreachable
from the File Viewer and opening one meant guessing its path.

Adds a `.*` toggle to the panel header. It re-fetches instead of re-rendering
the cached tree (the filtering is server-side), preserves the expanded
directories so toggling does not collapse the tree, and persists per-device to
its own `codeman:fileBrowserShowHidden` key. That key is deliberately not part
of the app-settings object, which `saveAppSettings()` rebuilds from the
settings-modal DOM and would drop it on the next save.

Default is OFF, so an untouched install behaves exactly as before.

Closes #221

The File Viewer can show hidden files and folders.

GET /api/sessions/:id/files has always accepted showHidden=true, but the panel hardcoded showHidden=false, so dot-prefixed entries were unreachable from the tree: no .gitignore, no .github/, no .env.example, and nothing under them. Opening one meant guessing its path.

The panel header gains a .* toggle. It re-fetches rather than re-rendering the cached tree, because the filtering happens server-side, and it keeps the expanded directories so toggling does not collapse the tree you just navigated. The state is per-device (its own codeman:fileBrowserShowHidden key rather than the app-settings object, which is rebuilt from the settings-modal DOM on save and would drop a key toggled from outside it), defaults to OFF, and survives a reload.

Generated and version-control directories (.git, node_modules, .next, .venv, ...) stay excluded either way: that list is about tree size, not about hiding dotfiles.

Closes #221.
