* fix: move modal to body level to fix z-index stacking context issue

The modal was nested inside .main-pane which has isolation: isolate,
creating a new stacking context. This caused the modal's z-index
to be evaluated within that context, unable to stack above the header.

This fix moves the modal to be a direct child of body on page load,
allowing it to properly cover the entire viewport including navbar.
