The three-threshold bar meter compressed a week of traffic into one of
four states; braille cells pack two dot columns of four rows each, so
the same 8-cell lane now draws a real 16-point histogram — each bucket
~10.5 hours — and a channel's rhythm (bursts, lulls, decay) is legible
at a glance. channel_stats() gains the per-bucket histogram, bucketing
the window's timestamps in Python off one filtered query; recent is
now simply the histogram's sum.
Bars scale to the row's own busiest bucket — the sparkline shows shape,
not cross-channel volume (the MSGS lane does that) — with non-empty
buckets floored at one dot so a lone message never vanishes. A silent
window keeps the muted ······· placeholder.
