## What changed
Replace `tui.whimsy` with `[tui.effects]` preferences for `starfield`, `shimmer`, `welcome`, `effort`, `progress`, and `title`. Each defaults to `true` and remains subordinate to the `tui.animations` master switch.
Wire the preferences into composer effects, welcome artwork, status and loading text, progress indicators, and terminal-title animations. For example, disable shimmering text while keeping progress animations:
```toml
[tui.effects]
shimmer = false
```
Keep retired `tui.whimsy` entries loadable but ignore their value. Update the configuration schema to expose the new preferences.
## Testing
Add and extend coverage for independent shimmer and progress effects, master-switch precedence, welcome and starfield controls, terminal-title blinking, and strict configuration loading with the retired setting.

## Why
Context compaction was only reported after it completed, so the TUI did not
show when compaction was actively making room to continue.
## What changed
- Show `Compacting context` as soon as manual or server-driven compaction
starts, with an elapsed timer independent of the current turn timer.
- Preserve the compaction status across follow-up input and transient activity,
while still allowing retry errors to take precedence.
- Restore in-progress compaction timing from thread snapshots and add the live
duration to the completion message.
- Clear stale compaction state when the turn starts, completes, or terminates.
## Testing
Added TUI tests covering manual and server-driven compaction, narrow rendering,
follow-up input, replay and task switching, retry status, timer preservation,
and turn termination.

## Why
Streaming can temporarily hide the status row, but its elapsed time is still
needed when the row returns and when the final `Worked for` duration falls back
to the local clock. Approval prompts must also keep that clock paused.
## What changed
- Own the pause-aware status timer in the bottom pane independently of the
optional status row.
- Preserve elapsed time and modal pause state while hiding or restoring the row,
and reset the clock for new turns and Windows sandbox setup.
- Use the independent timer as the fallback for the final turn duration.
## Testing
Add timer unit coverage and TUI tests for hidden rows, outstanding approvals,
fallback turn durations, and fresh Windows sandbox setup clocks.
