Failure reason	Operator corrected request: keep control; only simplify label

Description

Remove the persistent visible/clickable · plumbing: <mode> · <count> hidden widget from the TUI context bar. It is distracting and its click interaction is unreliable. Remove the widget, hit target, associated widget-only state/counting, tests, and help copy. Preserve typed TaskPresentation/TaskOrigin metadata and preserve the existing default behavior that ordinary agency plumbing is collapsed. Advanced visibility may remain available through existing settings; do not reintroduce another prominent control. Keep autonomous goal-bearing tasks visible.

Validation

cargo fmt --check
focused TUI unit tests for context bar/event/render/state pass
cargo check
the rendered context bar contains no plumbing: widget or click target
ordinary plumbing remains collapsed by default and autonomous tasks remain visible

STOP: operator corrected scope. Do not remove the control. Keep it and only remove the word 'plumbing' from its visible label; desired compact text is hidden/all count.
