Replace the between-screens ring spinner with a titled skeleton card: a
heading, the one-cell working chip beside a "reading from <device>…"
caption, and a two-row braille LED bar in place of the old ring.
The bar is a Knight-Rider scanner — a red head sweeps left↔right and
bounces off both ends over a dark-gray track, dragging a persistence-of-
vision comet trail (per-tick decay) with a white-hot core. It rides the
same tick that spins the chip and fades in from black with the card, so
the wait reads as work rather than a frozen bar.
Thread an optional title/caption through busy_overlay so each gap names
the screen being fetched and the companion it's reading from. Give the
CLI progress dialog the same liveness: a spinning chip on every row and a
slim braille meter, with no dead track on indeterminate tasks. Drop the
now-unused RingSpinner.
