Seat a player when the dealer names one, and stop hiding the bar on a full table

The first thing anybody does with this tool is seat the table, and it didn't work.
Measured on a fresh table: click a seat, type a name, repeat six times — six names on
the felt, six seats still not in the hand, and no action bar at all. No "post blinds
and deal", no explanation, nothing to press. Six people at the table and a blank
screen with no way forward.

Three things were wrong and each hid the next.

Naming a chair and dealing that chair in were separate acts. Putting a name on an
empty chair is somebody sitting down, so it now deals them in. Only a chair that was
empty — no name and nobody in it: renaming someone who is sitting out is a correction,
not an arrival, and dealing them back in over a typo would be the tool overruling the
dealer.

The action bar hid itself whenever no seat was live, which was written for an empty
felt and caught a named one too. A table with names on it is not an empty table; it's
a table the dealer needs to be told something about.

And the seat editor never redrew the bar. It refreshes narrowly on purpose — a full
render on every keystroke would take the name field out from under the dealer
mid-word — but the bar answers "is there a table here at all", and seating somebody is
exactly what changes that answer. Even ticking "In hand" by hand left the bar hidden
until something else happened to redraw. Verified the fix keeps focus and the caret
where they were, typing a character at a time.

For the states that can still reach it — a table where everyone was sat out, a save
from before naming seated people — the prompt names them and offers "Deal in all 6"
rather than a hunt through six seat editors.
