Conversation
Replace the gated rotating tip strip with a first-match selector so the status bar always offers the next key from onboarding stage and current context. Co-authored-by: Tyler Dane <tyler-dane@users.noreply.github.com>
ShortcutTipParts already exposes the sentence as sr-only text inside the status region, so a second aria-label would announce it twice. Co-authored-by: Tyler Dane <tyler-dane@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
The sidebar status bar now always shows the next shortcut instead of a muted, rotating tip that only appeared when an event was focused.
A first-match selector picks the hint from onboarding stage (
first-event-done) and current context (form open, event focused, Life vs calendar). Mode indicators (event jump, edge focus, keyboard place) and operational status (saving, delayed sync) still take the line when they apply.Simplicity
Removed the tip store, mute persistence, 45s cooldown, round-robin rotation, and mouse-streak bias. One pure function plus a thin hook replace that machine. Duplicate
aria-labelon the hint was dropped becauseShortcutTipPartsalready exposes the sentence assr-onlytext.Automated validation
