- #120588: CLI status bar: timer shows impossible values (4m 63s, 12m209s) once 🗜️ compression icon is visible — VS16 width mismatch breaks diff redraw
- PR #120593: fix(cli): align compression icon width

A VS16 variation selector on the compression glyph causes a cell-width mismatch that corrupts the status bar timer display, showing impossible values. The related items address fixing the glyph width to keep the timer rendering in the correct terminal cell.
