Subject: [PATCH] feat(theseus/toolbar): Firefox-style single drag handle,
 zero-sum URL/search ratio
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The two independent drag handles (right edge of URL bar, left edge of
search bar) are replaced with ONE handle sitting between them, wrapped
in a new .urlsearch flex container that owns the URL-bar-plus-search-bar
budget between the nav buttons on the left and the trailing dock on the
right.

Zero-sum semantics: dragging the handle right grows the URL bar and
shrinks the search bar; dragging left inverts. Nothing else in the
toolbar moves — nav buttons, Downloads, extension dock and the
⛓ Theseus logo all sit outside .urlsearch's flex parent.

When the window shrinks below the responsive breakpoint the search
bar (and the drag handle) hide as before, and the URL bar grows to
fill the .urlsearch budget on its own (added flex: 1 1 auto in the
data-responsive rules for .urlwrap).

Verified static rendering: url=700px → search=157px, url=300px →
search=539px, url=default → 60/40 split, narrow window → search
hidden and url fills.

Old settings (urlBarSize / searchBoxSize / searchBoxWidthPx) are
ignored by chrome.html but kept in main's SETTINGS_DEFAULTS so an
older chrome.html could still read them on a downgrade. Only
urlBarWidthPx is used going forward.
