Tiered scoring (exact 1.0 / stem 1.0 / prefix 0.8 / subseq 0.5+bonuses
capped 0.79) with leftmost+rightmost greedy alignment — rightmost wins
for extension/suffix queries ('md' against 'readme.md'), leftmost wins
for prefix queries ('re' against 'readme.md'). Boost-aware rankResults
applies recency x2 and open-tabs x1.5 multiplicatively; empty query
falls back to boosts alone.
Pure module, no DOM/IPC/Node — runs in renderer or main. 22 new tests.
