The statusbar gauge painted only what the backend reported as measured
occupancy, which a session has none of until a turn runs in this process.
Turning the gauge on mid-conversation, or resuming a chat, therefore showed
nothing until the next message.
Fetch session.context_breakdown as soon as the gauge is on screen instead of
when its popover opens. It is the same read-only estimate the popover already
used (chars/4 over the live prompt, tools and transcript — no provider call),
and it reports the measured figure once the backend has one. The popover
becomes presentational and reads the gauge s merged usage, so the bar and the
panel cannot disagree.
