Summary

Pin footer/help bar to terminal bottom so it does not float after content
Style context hints with bold purple keys and dim descriptions for scannability
Add broot-style tab affordances in header (stream/cards) and footer (capture)
Auto-clear status messages after 2s with debounced sequence counter
Render entity body as markdown via glamour in detail pane
Add scroll position indicator and pgup/pgdown/g/G to detail pane
Inline capture label in drawer border
Group cards by intent (pinned/grab/read/fill) with gutter labels matching stream view

Test plan

Open TUI, verify help bar pinned to bottom regardless of content length
Verify header shows stream/cards as tabs with keybinding affordances
Create entity, verify created status appears and auto-clears after 2s
Rapidly create then delete, verify second status stays full duration
Open detail on entity with markdown body, verify rendered output
Scroll detail pane, verify position indicator updates
Press a to capture, verify capture border label
Switch to cards mode, verify intent groups with gutter labels
Tab through intents, verify grouping only shows on all

fix(tui): pin footer to bottom, style hint bar, auto-clear status 4e0ac8402f

Content area now enforces full height so the context help bar stays
pinned to the terminal bottom. Hint keys rendered with bold highlight
color for scannability. Status messages (created, deleted, etc.)
auto-clear after 2 seconds, reverting to the entity count.

feat(tui): add broot-style tab affordances to header and footer e20fae3543

Header now renders stream/cards as tabs with keybindings inline —
active tab highlighted, inactive shows the key to switch. Footer
shows a capture tab affordance when in list state. Redundant mode
and capture hints removed from the context hint bar.

feat(tui): render entity body as markdown via glamour cb10d1e93d

Detail pane now pipes entity body through charmbracelet/glamour for
styled markdown output — headers, bold, code blocks, lists. Uses
hardcoded dark style to avoid terminal query freeze in alt screen.

feat(tui): status debounce, scroll indicator, drawer label, card grouping c26e2d2022

Status messages now use a sequence counter so rapid actions don't
cause premature clearing. Detail pane shows scroll position and
supports pgup/pgdown/g/G. Capture drawer border includes inline
label. Cards view groups by intent (pinned/grab/read/fill) with
gutter labels matching the stream view's date grouping pattern.
