feat(tui): status surface & toast overhaul

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Configurable `ui.layers` and `ui.animations` settings to tune glass elevation, neon intensity, and opt-in micro-animations.
 - Command palette offers fuzzy `:model` filtering and `:provider` completions for fast switching.
 - Inline guidance overlay adds a three-step onboarding tour, keymap-aware cheat sheets (F1 / `?`), and persists completion state via `ui.guidance`.
+- Status surface renders a layered HUD with streaming/tool indicators, contextual gauges, and redesigned toast cards featuring icons, countdown timers, and a compact history log.
 - Cloud usage tracker persists hourly/weekly token totals, adds a `:limits` command, shows live header badges, and raises toast warnings at 80 %/95 % of the configured quotas.
 - Message rendering caches wrapped lines and throttles streaming redraws to keep the TUI responsive on long sessions.
 - Model picker badges now inspect provider capabilities so vision/audio/thinking models surface the correct icons even when descriptions are sparse.
