put the status row above the board, and make it readable

text-xs muted at the bottom of the panel was where none of it got read.
Everything in that row is either a state you need before you touch the game
(connected, click the board to send it keys) or a repair for when it stops
behaving — a footer is the wrong place for both.

Now above the board, text-sm, text-primary, with the icons up to size-4 and
hover:underline instead of a colour change that is no longer available at
primary. `shrink-0` so it keeps its height and the canvas gives way, which is
the same reason the board's row has `min-h-0`.
