Summary
$N/Awhen unavailable), automatic-compaction status, and loaded extensionsprovider:model (thinking)aboveused/limitin the compact status blockUser experience
The sidebar now focuses on durable session identity, capabilities, and lifetime branch usage instead of repeating the compact model status line. Its wider, more clearly separated sections expose useful cost and activity information, preserve full external context paths, and retain Tau's identity and version without consuming global header or footer rows.
Issue
No linked issue. This addresses the agreed TUI sidebar improvements from design discussion.
