User story

As a user with multiple gallery items selected, I want a visible toolbar showing which batch actions are available, so that I don't have to remember every keybind.

Background

Multi-select works (Space/A/Esc) but there's no visual feedback for what to do once items are selected. GTK has a batch button bar that appears when items are selected.

Acceptance criteria

Visibility

When multi_selection is non-empty, replace the bottom hint row with a "N selected" toolbar
Toolbar shows action labels: Delete (dd) · Tag (T) · Move (m) · Favorite (*) · Share (s) · Clear (Esc)
Selected count shown left-aligned: N selected

Batch dispatch

dd confirms then deletes all selected (already wired)
* toggles favorite on all selected
m opens a folder picker and moves all selected (depends on move-to-folder ticket)
T triggers AI auto-tag on all selected (sequential)
s opens the sharing overlay; if multiple selected, share posts each in turn

Selection UI

Selected items keep their existing yellow border
First item in selection is shown with the cyan focus border in addition

Tests

Unit: batch favorite toggles all selected items consistently
Unit: batch delete clears multi_selection after success

Out of scope

Drag-drop reordering
Bulk export to disk
Move-to-folder picker (separate ticket)
