Control bar — design overhaul per UX feedback:
- 3 zones: state chip (left), controls (centered), help (right). Each zone
gets a dynamic-width spacer between. As the window narrows, drop first
dap.status(), then controls (text collapses), then chip detail — help is
NEVER sacrificed per user priority.
- Control icons are all Nerd Font Codicons now ( ).
Mixed emoji + VS16-text combinations were rendering inconsistently in
the user's font (▶️⬇️ as text-mode glyphs while 🔴🐛 rendered as emoji).
Codicons all ship in the same Nerd Font range → uniform look.
- Help label drops the redundant "(?)" — the ❓ emoji is self-documenting.
Now reads "❓ help" instead of "❓ (?) help".
- Key letter (the s in (s)tep, etc.) gets bold + underline + Special's fg
via a derived highlight (nvim_set_hl can't combine link + bold attrs).
Re-applied on ColorScheme so theme swaps don't lose the styling.
Sidebar reorder — ergonomic over convention:
- New order: Call Stack, Scopes, Watches, Breakpoints (was Scopes first).
- When paused, the first question is "where am I?" → Call Stack first.
- Call Stack adjacent to Scopes means clicking a frame updates the Scopes
right below it — visual affordance for the Call-Stack-drives-Scopes
relationship. VS Code puts Scopes first; IntelliJ/Xcode put Frames
first. We side with the ergonomic argument over convention.
