Visual and usability polish.

Changed

  • New app icon — a radar mark (green sweep, Claude-orange contacts) replacing the old generated ring. Design masters now live in design/.
  • Global shortcut is now ⌘⇧C (was ⌘⇧U). If you had the shortcut enabled, toggle it off and on once from the menu to re-register.
  • Medium widget now shows the reset countdown ("resets in 4h 12m") under the ring, matching the small and large sizes. Re-add the widget to pick up the new layout.
  • Usage window opens at the right height. It now computes its height from the content instead of asking SwiftUI to measure it — both fittingSize and sizeThatFits over-report for this layout, which is why it kept opening too tall.
