feat: add the TUI responsive layout math

Below 72 columns the preview pane is dropped and rows take two lines, the
constraint the `sc` chooser was built around and the reason it is still usable
on a phone; above it a clamped sidebar carries the list and the preview takes
the rest.

Every region is clamped to a non-negative size, so a 5x5 terminal degrades to a
header instead of handing the renderer negative widths.

/**
* @fileoverview Pure responsive layout math for the TUI frame.
*
* One rule decides the shape: below 72 columns (Termius, iPhone portrait) the
* preview pane is gone and rows take two lines, which is the constraint the
* `sc` chooser was built around and the reason it is still usable on a phone.
* Above it, a clamped sidebar carries the session list and the preview takes
* the rest.
*
* Rectangles are 1-based (row 1, column 1 is the top-left cell) because that is
* what `ESC [ <row>;<col> H` takes, and every region is clamped to a
* non-negative size so a 5x5 terminal degrades instead of producing negative
* widths that would crash the renderer.
