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 Unit tests for the frame renderer.

* The structural expectations below are full frames with the escapes stripped,

* sequences themselves are asserted separately, including the promise that
* NO_COLOR leaves nothing but cursor addressing behind.
