# The transient message row: the LAST row of a pane, left-aligned at the text
# area's origin, saying what just happened to that pane and when. An OVERLAY,
# not geometry — nothing shrinks to make room, so a pane with nothing to say is
# not touched at all, which is why the other 71 goldens only moved where a
# prompt or a message actually appears.
#
# The clock reads `--:--:--` here and only here: $PARDES_NOTIME (set by
# snapshot.zig, the same flag that hides the language backend's durations)
# blanks the DIGITS rather than the row, because a message that disappeared
# under the harness could not be pinned at all.
#
# The row has exactly two possible occupants and they are not the same kind of
# thing. A MESSAGE is a report of something that already happened, and the next
# key or mouse event wipes it. An armed PROMPT is what that keystroke is being
# typed INTO, it lives until Enter or Esc, and it WINS.
