The main loop blocked on stdscr.getch() until the operator hit a
key — a tool call landing in the queue while the operator was just
watching wouldn't appear on the screen. The operator had to press
any key to trigger a re-render and see the new proposal.
Switch to stdscr.timeout(1000): getch returns -1 after 1s if no
key was pressed, and the loop re-renders with the latest
discover_pending() result. CPU cost is trivial; the loop body is
~one filesystem scan + curses draw per second.
Also restructure status_line lifecycle: was cleared right after
every render, which meant a timeout-driven re-render would wipe
the message ~1s after the operator's keystroke set it. Now
status_line is cleared only on actual key press, so messages
like "approved cred-proxy-block for [dev-xyz]" persist until the
operator does something else.
Detail view + prompt view are unchanged — they're modal, the
underlying proposal data doesn't move, and getstr can't tolerate
a re-render mid-input.
