 * Ink-native hook for handling a keybinding.
 *
 * The handler stays in the component (React way).
 * The binding (keystroke → action) comes from config.
 *
 * Supports chord sequences (e.g., "ctrl+k ctrl+s"). When a chord is started,
 * the hook will manage the pending state automatically.
 *
 * Uses stopImmediatePropagation() to prevent other handlers from firing
 * once this binding is handled.
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * useKeybinding('app:toggleTodos', () => {
 *   setShowTodos(prev => !prev)
 * }, { context: 'Global' })
