Status bar: show context window % used alongside token count

Feature Request
What: Display the percentage of the context window consumed next to the token count in the status bar.
Current behavior: The status bar shows raw token count (e.g., 1,234 tokens).
Desired behavior: Show percentage alongside it (e.g., 1,234 tokens (6%)), so users can quickly gauge how close they are to the context limit without doing mental math.
Why: Token count alone is hard to interpret without knowing the model's context window size. A percentage gives immediate, actionable feedback on remaining capacity.
