Three Task 2 review findings:
1. The outside-click backdrop is a fixed full-viewport layer at z-index 1040,
but the input-group was unpositioned — so once the panel was open a click on
the field or the chevron hit the backdrop and closed the panel instead of
letting the operator keep typing. The field now carries .ip-field
(position:relative, z-index 1042), stacking backdrop < panel < field. Pinned
in bUnit by the class (the z-index itself is scoped CSS, verified visually).
2. OnParametersSet closes the panel on ANY lists change, not only when the
selection disappeared: an open panel is showing the previous site's tree,
which is wrong even when the selected instance happens to exist in both.
The reference-equality contract on Areas/Instances is now stated on both
parameters — pass a stable reference, replace it only when the set changed.
3. Tests: the chevron closes an open panel; two pickers mint distinct panel ids
(and matching aria-controls); an unrelated parameter change with the SAME
Instances reference leaves a half-typed filter and the open panel alone.
