feat: render TUI frames from the model and layout

One absolutely-addressed line per row, each closed with an erase-to-end, so
nothing scrolls and a repaint cannot leave the previous frame's tail behind.
The caller wraps the result in synchronized-output brackets; that is an IO
decision and stays out of the renderer.

Color is passed in rather than detected. chalk's detection is right for the
one-shot CLI but would make a frame non-deterministic, so the palette is raw
SGR in the same semantic roles cli-style uses, and `color: false` emits nothing
but the cursor addressing, the session's own colors in the preview included.

/**
* @fileoverview Pure frame renderer: model + layout in, one string out.
*
* The frame is absolute-addressed, one `ESC [ <row>;1 H` per line followed by
* `ESC [ K`, so nothing ever scrolls and a repaint cannot leave debris. The
* caller wraps the result in synchronized-output brackets (DECSET 2026) where
* the terminal supports it; that is an IO decision and stays out of here.
*
* Color is decided by the caller and passed in, never detected here: chalk's
* auto-detection is the right answer for the one-shot CLI (see `cli-style.ts`)
* but it would make a frame non-deterministic, and "same inputs, same string"
* is what makes this module testable. The palette below is the same semantic
* vocabulary chalk gives `cli-style` (ok green, warn yellow, err red, info
* cyan, muted gray, emph bold), written as raw SGR so the mapping is fixed.
*
* With `color: false` the frame contains no escape sequences at all beyond the
* cursor addressing that puts each line in place.
*
* @module tui/tui-render
