The persistent #statusBar strip held whatever last-action message
was written ("Loaded N items", "Created folder X", error text, …)
and stuck around indefinitely, overlapping content while adding
little value. Deleted the strip; existing statusInfo/statusError
call sites now thunk through window.zddc.toast (the shared toast
helper every tool already bundles).
- Same function signatures: events.statusInfo /
events.statusError keep working without touching the 70+ call
sites across app.js, download.js, events.js, etc.
- plan-review.js had its own private statusInfo/statusError pair
(duplicated the DOM write); updated to route through
zddc.toast as well.
- statusClear becomes a no-op — toasts fade on their own (5s
info, 8s error via cap-toast) and the toast helper's
single-toast policy guarantees only the latest is visible.
Removed: #statusBar div from template.html, .status-bar / .is-error
/ .is-info / --error / --info rules from base.css and tree.css.
Zero remaining `statusBar` or `status-bar` references in the built
browse.html. Full Playwright suite green (243/0/4).
