vh 3b9c610587 feat(cli,tui): issue #12 — presenter contract semantics amendment (v0.2.0)
Replaces the stateless _render_event / _render_event_to_log helpers with
stateful per-turn presenters (CliPresenterState / TuiPresenterState).
Coalesces thinking-event deltas into a single growing display per run;
demotes telemetry events with editorial hierarchy; formats duration +
usage for human reading. Headline behavior change: a 50-token thinking
phase now renders as ONE coalesced growing line in CLI (or one closed
RichLog entry + per-delta live Static widget in TUI), not 50 lines of
[thinking] spam.

Editorial promotion line (issue #12 INV-002):
- Load-bearing (no demotion prefix): Text, Done, Error, Cancelled
- Demoted telemetry (`. ` ASCII prefix in CLI; dim `· ` in TUI):
  WorkerPhase, Thinking, TextBoundary, ToolStart, ToolResult

Stateful coalescing:
- Thinking deltas accumulate into thinking_buffer; first non-thinking
  event closes the run with a single \n boundary in CLI / one closed
  dim RichLog entry in TUI.
- TUI adds a dedicated Static(id="thinking-current") widget that shows
  the last ~200 chars of the active run, mirroring per-delta updates.
  Two-views-of-thinking decoupling per INV-004: chronological RichLog +
  always-visible widget.
- CLI INV-005: when stdout text was streamed mid-line,
  text_written_since_newline triggers a stdout flush + \n before the
  next stderr terminal label — guarantees [done] / [error] / [cancelled]
  land on their own line in a TTY without breaking pipe-to-file
  scripted consumers.

Formatting helpers (issue #12 INV-006 / INV-007):
- _format_duration_ms — autoscale `347ms` / `5.5s` / `1.2m`
- _format_usage — natural-language `6756 in -> 126 out (6882 total, 0
  cached)` with arrow="->" CLI / "→" TUI

Cross-frontier design pass (eitri-smithy-dev, althing
01KSBE52YZR5E3SPTKA672JE43) returned 16-of-16 confirmed decisions + 4
material divergences applied:
- ASCII `. ` prefix in CLI (`·` is U+00B7, not ASCII)
- RichLog one-closed-entry-per-run + Static per-delta updates (not
  inline-mirror as initially proposed)
- presenter-state object instead of pure-function rendering
- Framed as "contract semantics amendment", not "polish"

Volva paraphrase round (5 prose-precision fixes applied to
12.contract.md): INV-001 "growing display" semantics; single hide
mechanism for the Static widget (Textual reactive `display: bool`);
[render_error] security clause (type-only, no exception message);
text_written_since_newline `\n`-terminated text corner case;
[create_session] integration path (bypasses state.render — not an SSE
Event variant).

Volva code-review round (5 findings applied):
- F1 drift: render-exception fallback now writes BOTH a plain-label
  fallback line for the original event AND the `[render_error] <type>`
  line (was missing the fallback half).
- F2 drift: dim Rich style applied to all demoted-telemetry RichLog
  writes via `rich.text.Text(..., style="dim")` (was plain str).
- F3 drift: belt-and-braces widget clear+hide on EVERY terminal event
  (Done/Error/Cancelled), even when thinking_open was False.
- F4 precision: _format_usage gains PRE-001 assertion on the four
  expected usage keys.
- F5 precision: _run_turn signature amended in issue #3 contract to
  document the new `state: CliPresenterState | None = None` test-
  injection kwarg.

[create_session] lifecycle line demoted to `. create_session:` (written
directly by _amain; bypasses state.render since it's not a wire-level
SSE Event variant). Pre-amendment _render_event / _render_event_to_log
and their test classes removed under the no-backwards-compat rule.

Issues #3 and #4 contracts amended in-place: #3 (CliPresenterState
CLASS + FN block + helper FN blocks + _run_turn signature + _amain
create_session demotion); #4 (TuiPresenterState CLASS + FN block +
compose Static widget + _stream_turn_worker state construction).

209 tests GREEN; ruff clean. Bumps v0.1.0 → v0.2.0 (minor — output
shape change breaks pre-amendment grep patterns like `[thinking] '`;
no public API surface change beyond the rendering contract).

Persistent-memory commit-along: captures the issue #12 decision,
forward direction (require end_user_id for every access — declined
worldtree-dev's requires_end_user_id offer because we'll send it
universally), and the Heimdall scope-model foot-gun note (the
"per-Tier-1-agent scope add" diagnosis was a phantom ask resolved by
worldtree-dev's correction; agent.call:* baseline covers all Tier 1).
