Subject: [PATCH] TUI polish: fit /settings limits at 100 cols, align engine
 list, shrink slash hint
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- /settings Limits: the camelCase keys only needed a short label column, so
  narrow it (26 -> 16) and tighten the value/source column (20 -> 14). The
  longest row (minimizeCalls with NEXUS_MINIMIZE_CALLS) now fits at 100 columns
  instead of wrapping its env-var name onto a second line.
- /engine list: pad the engine name to a fixed column (padEnd 9) so the
  descriptions line up, matching the doctor screen.
- slash-command menu footer: the "tab complete ... esc dismiss" hint was being
  truncated to "esc dism…" at 80 columns. Fall back to a shorter, whole hint
  ("select · enter run · esc") when the full one does not fit the footer.
