feat: rank built-in commands alongside applications

 Discovery supports both standard (`APPL`) and XPC-backed (`XPC!`) `.app` bundles, including Apple Passwords, provided they contain a valid executable.
 
-Search is case- and accent-insensitive. Ranking is exact name, full-name prefix, word prefix, ordered word initials, substring, then ordered-subsequence fuzzy matches. Fuzzy matches favor smaller gaps and earlier starts. Equally good text matches put favorites first, then order by successful launch count, most recent launch, and alphabetically. Neither favorites nor usage promote a weaker text match above a stronger one or change which applications match. Hover over a result to see its path.

+Search is case- and accent-insensitive for applications and built-in commands alike. Ranking is exact name, full-name prefix, word prefix, ordered word initials, substring, then ordered-subsequence fuzzy matches. Fuzzy matches favor smaller gaps and earlier starts. Equally good text matches put favorites first, then order by launch count, most recent launch, and alphabetically. Neither favorites nor usage promote a weaker text match above a stronger one or change which entries match. Hover over an application to see its path. Application launch failures appear in a native alert without dismissing the launcher.
 
 Words are runs of letters or numbers separated by spaces, punctuation, or symbols. For example, `settings` matches the second word of System Settings, `gc` matches Google Chrome, and `ss` matches System Settings. Initials must occur in order but can skip words: both `vsc` and `vc` match Visual Studio Code.
 
-With an empty search, favorites appear first, separated from the remaining applications by a 12-point gap when both groups are present. Typed searches have no group spacing. Within both favorite and non-favorite groups, applications are ordered by successful launch count, then most recent launch, then alphabetically. Favorites and usage are stored locally by application bundle identity and survive restarts; copies with the same name remain independent. Only launches through Conjure count; failed launches do not. Applications without history remain alphabetical within their group.

 Applications with identical display names show a muted containing-folder hint beside the name. Copies sharing the same folder show their full application bundle paths instead. Home paths abbreviate to `~`, and long hints truncate in the middle. Unique names have no hint; locations are recalculated whenever discovery refreshes.

 Search for **Conjure Translate**, labeled **Command**, and open it with Return, double-click, or **Open Command**. The launcher fades into an English → Japanese translation tool; the existing search bar becomes the English input and retains the launcher's placeholder styling. Escape returns to the previous search.
 
+The command participates in the same text matching, usage ranking, and favorites as applications (`ct` matches its initials). Return, double-click, **Open Command**, numbered shortcuts, and **Actions → Open** all record an opening. Its Actions menu offers **Open**, **Favorite / Remove Favorite**, and **Reset ranking**, but not Finder, Quit, or Uninstall. Reset ranking clears usage without removing its favorite status.
+
 Choose **MyMemory (no key)** or **OpenAI · gpt-6-luna** from the provider dropdown. MyMemory is the initial default, and the selection is saved locally. Switching providers cancels pending work and clears the previous translation; there is no automatic fallback. Press Return from the English input or click **Translate** in the bottom-right launcher-style action pill, beside its Return key badge, to send text to the selected provider.
 
 [MyMemory](https://mymemory.translated.net/doc/spec.php) requires no account or key. Anonymous use allows 500 UTF-8 bytes per request and [5,000 characters per day](https://mymemory.translated.net/doc/usagelimits.php). Oversized input is rejected before sending; quota and service errors appear in the tool. Text is sent to a third-party translation service: avoid sensitive content.
