When a user runs a non-existent task (e.g. `vp run zzzzz`), the interactive selector shows "No matching tasks." which can make users think the command is hanging. Adding "Press Escape to clear search." gives an actionable next step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
When a user runs a non-existent task (e.g.
vp run zzzzz), the interactive selector pre-fills the search with the typo and shows an empty results list. Without additional context, users may think the command is hanging.This adds an actionable hint to the empty state message:
This reminds users they are in a search state and gives them a clear next step to recover, rather than leaving them stuck on a seemingly unresponsive screen.
