## 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.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, tool-enabled local
repository and shell access, Paperclip heartbeat context.
