Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 5 1693367f41 Main menu: every description inside the 72-column line
The label column is the widest tool title plus two cells of gap, which
leaves the muted description 47 to work in. All 22 of them ran past it —
"Act on the device itself — clock, backup, identity key, reboot, reset"
needed 94 columns of terminal to say what 67 could. The row scrolled
under ←→ rather than lying, but a description you have to scroll is a
description nobody reads.

Rewritten to fit: the subject moves into the title's shadow (the row
already says Device actions, so the description just lists them), the
parenthetical asides go, and the trailing clause that repeated the
obvious goes with them. Widest row is now exactly 72.

"""The ``channels`` tool: create, join, and manage mesh channels.
Interactively it opens a full-screen channel manager (see :mod:`meshterm.ui.channels`) — a
first-class, phone-app-style experience for creating private channels, adding public ``#``
channels, joining with a key, importing a scanned ``meshcore://`` link, and sharing any
channel as a QR code. On the CLI it exposes ``list``, ``add``, ``join``, ``import``, and
``share`` subcommands for scripted use.
Channels are also *listed* by the ``chat`` tool for picking a conversation; this tool owns
everything to do with configuring the slots themselves.
