Mobile: single-device "Devices" card wastes the top third of the Code screen

Summary
On the mobile app's Code tab, the "Geräte" / "Devices" section at the top reserves a large fixed card even when only a single device is connected. On a phone screen this card eats roughly the top third of the viewport, pushing the actual Sessions list — the thing you're usually there for — down below the fold.
Current behavior
- One connected device ("kalle · Verbunden/Connected") is rendered as a full-width, tall card.
- Below it, the Sessions list (the primary content) is compressed; only ~2 sessions are comfortably visible before scrolling.
- The device card carries very little information (name + connection status) for the vertical space it consumes.
Expected behavior
- With a single device, the device area should be compact — e.g. a single-line status row or a small chip — instead of a large card.
- Reserve the tall multi-card layout for the case where there are actually multiple devices to choose between.
- Prioritize the Sessions list, which is the primary content of this screen.
Suggested fix
- Collapse the "Devices" section to a one-line summary when
deviceCount === 1(tap to expand for details). - Only switch to the current card grid when
deviceCount > 1.
Environment
- Platform: iOS (Claude Code mobile app)
- Screen: Code tab → Devices + Sessions
- Devices connected: 1
