## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip's board UI relies on compact selectors for frequent issue
and agent edits.
> - Inline selectors often live inside larger keyboard-aware surfaces
such as composers and popovers.
> - Arrow, enter, tab, and escape keys handled by the selector should
not leak to parent document shortcuts.
> - Stale company selection should also stay hidden until the company
list confirms it is valid.
> - This pull request tightens inline selector keyboard handling and
adds regression coverage for stale company bootstrap behavior.
> - The benefit is fewer accidental parent interactions and safer
company-scoped UI initialization.
## What Changed
- Added a stable empty `recentOptionIds` default so selector filtering
does not get a new array every render.
- Mirrored highlighted option state into a ref so Enter/Tab commits the
current highlighted option reliably after keyboard navigation.
- Stopped propagation for selector-owned navigation/commit/escape keys.
- Added jsdom regressions for inline selector keyboard handling and
CompanyProvider stale selection behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx
ui/src/context/CompanyContext.test.tsx`
- Targeted selector and CompanyProvider tests pass cleanly without React
`act(...)` warnings.
- Screenshots not attached: this is keyboard/state behavior covered by
component tests.
## Risks
- Low risk: changes are scoped to inline selector key handling and
tests. The main behavior shift is intentionally preventing handled
selector keys from reaching parent listeners.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The board UI is the operator’s control surface for selecting the
active company
> - A company id stored in localStorage can become stale across resets,
imports, or deleted companies
> - Exposing that stale id before companies load can briefly put
downstream UI in an invalid company scope
> - This pull request defers selected-company exposure until the loaded
company list validates the stored id
> - The benefit is a cleaner company-selection bootstrap path and fewer
transient invalid API requests
## What Changed
- Initialized `CompanyProvider` selection as `null` until companies
finish loading.
- Reused a stored company id only when it exists in the loaded
selectable company list.
- Cleared storage and selected state when no companies are available.
- Added jsdom regression coverage for stale stored ids before and after
company loading.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/context/CompanyContext.test.tsx`
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects selection bootstrap and keeps valid
stored selections intact.
- There may be a slightly longer initial `null` selected-company state
while the company list is loading.
