TUI v3: tighten action strip + restore/import guidance (SeedPass-57f6)

action_bar.py:
- Fix global row broken handlers: Remove Seed → open_profile_management,
  Backup Data → open_backup_parent_seed, Export/Import Data → open_palette
  (export/import need a path argument, palette is the right entry point)

add.py:
- seedplus-hint: mention BIP-85 explicitly, reference Seed+ (C) action
- AddEntryScreen success notify: include reveal/copy shortcut hint
- SeedPlusScreen: add #seedplus-warning label explaining deterministic
  derivation and index uniqueness requirement
- SeedPlusScreen success notify: mention index and parent seed

app.py:
- RecoverProfileScreen: set success status before bootstrap fires
- CreateProfileScreen: add intent messaging for nostr/backup restore modes
  with progress description and post-success status

grid.py:
- Add stored_password to secrets filter kind_map (was missing)

tests:
- test_tui_v3_parity: add test_v3_action_bar_global_row_uses_correct_handlers
- test_tui_v3_smoke: add seedplus-hint BIP-85 check, seedplus-warning label
  check, recover success-status check
