v0.1.1 — setup window + cursor fix + 14 tools

Highlights

• Floating setup window on every launch — menubar fallback for
  machines where the status item gets clipped behind the display
  notch or hidden by Bartender-style menubar managers. Permission
  rows refresh live (1 s poll); no relaunch required.
• Two new tools (14 total):
  • paste — NSPasteboard + cmd+v. Faster than type_text for long
    or unicode-heavy content; restores prior clipboard.
  • wait_for_element — poll AX tree until predicate matches.
    Returns the element index with the cache already refreshed.
• Cursor rendering fix — overlay panel bumped 56→80 with scale
  recomputed; body wings no longer clip the layer.
• Stale-TCC detection — verifies AX functionally via a Finder
  AXRole probe and surfaces a "restart this app" hint when macOS
  reports granted but the underlying SPI rejects calls.
• Better menubar icon — template SF symbol that respects
  light/dark menubars; small colored corner badge when permissions
  are missing (no more solid-red triangle).
