feat(pi-atelier): ship Status Rail defaults, cp'd not symlinked

Adds pi-atelier.json (defaults for the pi-atelier extension) and an
install/uninstall step for it, so the config survives a devbox volume wipe and
applies to pi on the host too — ~/.pi/agent is a named volume in a container,
which the extension's own config path alone does not outlive.

cp-if-absent rather than a symlink, unlike keybindings.json/AGENTS.md: the
extension rewrites this exact path when the user saves from its menu
(src/config.ts writeJsonAtomic -> "<path>.<pid>.tmp" then rename). rename(2)
REPLACES a symlink with a regular file instead of following it, so a link would
detach on the first menu save and the repo copy would quietly stop applying.
Verified empirically before choosing the idiom, not assumed.

Drift is respected in both directions, matching the pi-env.zsh shape: install
never clobbers an existing file (warns + prints a diff hint), uninstall removes
it only while its content still matches the repo. All five paths exercised
against an isolated HOME: fresh copy, idempotent re-run, drift-preserved
install, drift-preserved uninstall, matched-content uninstall.

Values chosen for this setup and validated against the extension's own
validateConfig (no warnings, no coercion):
- segments drop "brand" (decoration, and first in the drop order anyway)
- density compact — the rail relayouts at 132/96/72/56 cols and these sessions
  run over plain SSH at unknown width
- contextWarning/Danger 60/85, earlier than the 70/90 default because
  defaultModel is opus-5 at xhigh thinking with obsmem compaction behind it
- showSidebarToolNames true — MCP/tool-heavy sessions, names beat "something
  is running"
- completionNotifications false — deliverSystemNotification only spawns for
  darwin/win32 and returns undefined on linux, and a container has no desktop
  session to reach anyway

Docs: file inventory + install/uninstall tables in README.md and AGENTS.md,
including why the symlink idiom does not apply here.
