- #46177: Per-prompt status-bar timer uses wall clock and jumps on NTP/clock change or resume
- PR #46239: fix(cli): use monotonic clock for per-prompt elapsed timer (#46177)

These issues and PRs address a bug where the CLI status-bar elapsed timer used the wall clock, causing it to jump or behave incorrectly on NTP adjustments, system clock changes, or resume from sleep. The fix switches the timer to a monotonic clock source.
