Research direction

A pull request (#1858) is already open against this, so the work is under way and not free to pick up. The request is to expose the app's local file storage in the iOS Files app / Documents share, the way Safari and Termius do, which means native iOS document-picker plumbing on top of the existing Dart file handling in this Flutter project. Read the linked PR first to see what approach was taken, then the file-management code that backs the file tab. Done means files stored on device are browsable from the Files app and stay in sync with what the app shows.
