Make /usage output more compact so progress bars stay visible

Problem
On smaller terminal windows, the /usage modal renders enough content (plan info, comparison sections, etc.) that the actual usage progress bars get pushed off the visible area and require scrolling to see. The progress bars are the part most users open /usage to check, so having them be the first thing scrolled off-screen is awkward.
Suggestion
A way to get a more compact /usage report. A few options that would each help:
- A
--compact/--shortflag (e.g./usage --compact) that shows only the current-period bars and headline numbers. - A setting in
settings.jsonto default to compact mode. - Reorder the existing modal so the progress bars are rendered last, so they stay in view at the bottom of the terminal even when the window is short (currently they render first and get pushed off the top).
Why
The current layout means /usage is most useful on tall terminal windows; on standard-height windows, the key information ends up off-screen. Reducing or reordering the content would make the command more useful in everyday terminal sizes.
Thanks!
