If missing, /review or /diff will show a clear install prompt.

Notes

- Untracked files show as [UNTRACKED] and open in normal view.
- Folder LOCs are shown only when the folder is collapsed (expanded folders would duplicate counts).
- Line counts load asynchronously; the header shows activity while counts are computed.
- Large non-git folders load progressively and may show [partial] while loading in safe mode.
- Git status refreshes every 3 seconds while /readfiles` is open.
