Subject: [PATCH] fix(frontend): keep the empty-state toolbar reachable, and
 name the view counters

"Empty" here means the default listing found nothing, and a workspace
whose items are all archived looks exactly the same. The searchbar
carries "Only archived", so taking it off the pointer left those items
unreachable without hand-writing a query URL. Dimmed still, never
`inert`.

The disclosure named the counters that fire on a creation or an import
and not the three that fire on merely seeing the empty home or opening
either picker.
