feat(vscode): type safety, OTel validation, keyboard navigation

- GovernanceStore: constrain panelType from string to DetailPanelType
  union ('slo'|'topology'|'audit'|'policy'|'hub') for compile-time
  safety on detail subscriptions and fetcher dispatch

- MetricsExporter: validate endpoint URL on construction and
  setEndpoint(). Reject non-URL strings and non-http(s) protocols
  with console.warn. push() silently no-ops when endpoint is empty.
  4 new tests for validation behavior.

- Sidebar keyboard navigation: Arrow Up/Down moves focus between
  panel slots. Slots have tabIndex, role="region", aria-label, and
  focus-visible ring. Keybindings registered in package.json
  (ctrl+shift+down/up when sidebar focused).
