Command Deck Header Refinement

Simplified the overview command deck header into a compact status bar that keeps live state, last tick time, replay switching, and active filter context near the top of the page.

Summary

The accepted live-mode variant replaces the heavier command deck header with a calmer two-line command bar. The top line now carries the product label, live connection chip, last-update chip, and replay toggle. The second line keeps the evidence-console context, focused ticker, and the active filter state.

Changes Made

Context

This change came from an Impeccable live session on the overview page. The selected element was the command deck header. The accepted direction was variant 2, a simplified command bar that keeps operational controls close to the top while reducing decorative weight.

Important Implementation Details

Contract filtersWhen an option contract is focused, the header renders its label and clears with setSelectedInstrument(null).
Ticker filtersWhen ticker text is active, the header renders Ticker: value and clears with setFilterInput("").
Filter affordanceThe clear button appears on hover or focus-within, preserving a quieter default chip while staying keyboard reachable.
MotionThe hover transition is included in the existing reduced-motion terminal control block.

Expected Impact for End-Users

Users get a quieter command deck with live status, last update, and replay switching preserved in the first scan line. Active filters become easier to notice and clear without adding another permanent button to the header.
