feat(paint-slots): paint panel polish — sticky controls, selection outlines, auto-select

- MaterialPaintPanel owns its scroll: the eraser/reset row stays pinned and
  the category tabs stick to the top, so only the material list scrolls.
- Selected catalog swatch + active scene-material card use the same
  `ring-1 ring-primary ring-inset` outline as item/preset tiles.
- Choosing a material category auto-selects its first material.
