- the vendored nerdicons.lua was the pristine upstream copy, so installs
relying on the packaged plugin lost the tuned icon rendering (fractional
glyph size and default hinting made icons feel soft and uneven). Apply
the same tuning as the user config: whole-pixel icon size, hinting off,
scale-aware chevron offset.
- default config (skel + first-run template) and this repo's users keep
the status bar permanently visible: shown at startup, and the
status-bar:hide/toggle commands are no-ops.
