OBJECTIVE: Make Normal-mode coding-symbol entry faster by extending the existing pair/symbol rail with coding-relevant tokens such as *, &, #, //, $, and @ where they fit the keymap idiom.

AUTHORITY: Parent #76 NS11; KEYMAP.md pair/object rails; user request that bp/symbol entry should cover more coding-relevant punctuation.

AGENT AUTHORITY:

Delivery authority: local-commit
Tracker authority: this issue may be commented and closed when acceptance passes
Handoff state: committed clean, tracker commented/closed

PARENT: #76 by parent checklist fallback plus explicit parent reference in this body.

SCOPE: choose the smallest rail-compatible symbol set; implement deterministic insertion/selection behavior; update KEYMAP.md; add tests.

BOUNDARIES: Do not add runtime keymap config, a snippet engine, or language-specific formatting. Do not steal existing high-value motions without documenting/reworking conflicts.

ACCEPTANCE: selected coding symbols are reachable from Normal mode with a discoverable rail; multi-byte tokens such as // insert atomically; existing pair insertion and object selection still work; unknown symbols fail clearly; docs list the symbol table.

REGRESSION CLASS: coding punctuation requires mode churn; new symbol shortcuts collide with motions or pair/object commands; multi-character tokens corrupt cursor position.

EVIDENCE ARTIFACTS: headless TUI tests and/or terminal E2E transcript showing inserted coding symbols and preserved pair behavior.

REQUIREMENT IMPACT: likely updates input/keymap rows.

VERIFICATION: zig build test; zig build terminal-e2e; redgate lint/health if requirements change.

BLOCKERS: none.

Closing receipt for #79.

Implemented in local commit 062d0f1 (Expand coding symbol rail):

Extended the source-patched Space p symbol rail with coding-relevant tokens:
- f → //
- x → *
- a → &
- h → #
- d → $
- r → @
Preserved existing pair behavior for (), [], {}, quotes/backticks and existing /, |, _ entries.
Corrected KEYMAP.md discoverability from stale Space i wording to the actual Space p symbol rail.
Added browser-terminal E2E coverage for multi-token and single-token coding symbol insertion.

Verification:

zig build ✅
zig build test ✅
zig build terminal-e2e ✅
zig build run -- --help ✅
zig build --prefix /tmp/mim-install verify-install-code ✅
redgate list /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate lint /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate health /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md ✅
