rpc: more verbs — structured reads, modal select, in-view search, save
Introspection (offloaded to a thread so a big fetch can't freeze the
render): pseudocode (full body), disassembly (bounded), xrefs_to/from
(structured), resolve (name->ea). These let an agent reason about a
function and the call graph without scraping screen().
Semantic: select (choose the highlighted/nth item in the open xrefs or
symbol-palette list and activate it — the natural follow-up to xrefs/
symbols), search (/ or ? incremental in the active code view), save
(Ctrl+S). rpc_smoke exercises all of them end-to-end (18 green).
