Caption every UI-state-changing step with a comment

Each tree-expansion, selection change, command execution, async wait and
key/mouse injection inside an [AvaloniaTest] now carries a short imperative
comment on the line above (e.g. "// expand typeNode", "// select methodA",
"// wait for assemblies to load", "// execute aboutCmd"). The comments are
the same scaffolding the manual debug-with-screenshot workflow uses to
follow what's happening at each breakpoint, surfaced into the committed
source so the tests are readable without the breakpoint markers attached.
