The CLI header now shows the connection status of the Remote Control bridge, when your terminal is wide enough

What

The header now shows a small status indicator for the REPL bridge, the connection Claude Code uses for Remote Control. It reflects whether the bridge is connected, reconnecting, in an error state, or has a session active. It only appears when the terminal window is at least 60 columns wide, and it does not show when Remote Control is running in outbound-only mode.

Why

This gives an at-a-glance signal of whether Remote Control is actually connected, instead of leaving that state invisible until something goes wrong.
