fix(dashboard): keep Planning Mode and Settings typable after floating-window migration

FN-8606 declared the window shell as a component inside PlanningModeModal and
SettingsModal render. A component declared in render is a new element type on
every render, so React remounted the whole subtree on each keystroke, destroying
the focused input: Planning Mode dropped everything after the first character and
Settings text fields did the same.

Replace ModalShell with a plain renderModalShell(children) call so the returned
element types stay stable, and add a Planning regression test that types
per-character across both the modal and embedded surfaces (fireEvent.change
cannot observe this class of bug, which is why it shipped).

+dev: The FN-8606 floating-window migration declared `ModalShell` as a component inside `PlanningModeModal`/`SettingsModal` render, so each render produced a new element type and remounted the whole subtree, destroying the focused input. Replaced with a plain `renderModalShell(children)` call so element types stay stable.
