CommandPalette
⌘K-style global command palette. Mission Control uses one for navigation, dataset jumps, task lookups. Carbon doesn't ship one formally but the pattern is widely copied. We build on cmdk + Dialog so it slots into any consuming app.

When to use
- A global ⌘K / Ctrl-K surface for power-users to jump to any page, entity, or action.
- Search-and-action UIs where typing filters across heterogeneous result types (pages, entities, recently-viewed, suggested actions).
When not to use
- A form-field option picker → use `ComboBox` or `Select`.
- A trigger-anchored action menu (e.g. a row's "..." button) → use `OverflowMenu` or `DropdownMenu`.
- Inline search inside a single page section → use `Search`.
