UX: pill spacing fix + PR review toggle (r key) (#27)

Pill spacing:
- Passive pills: Padding(0,0) → Padding(0,1) for breathing room
- Passive name length: 4 → 6 chars (recognizable names)
- Remove state-group summary from strip (redundant with status bar)

PR review toggle:
- Repurpose unused RunReview field as ReviewEnabled
- ShouldReview() gated by ReviewEnabled
- New ToggleReview() method + toggle_review ctl action
- r key in TUI toggles review, shows flash
- "review off" label in PR zoom header when disabled
- Hint + help entry for r key
- Migration: existing non-terminal PRs get ReviewEnabled=true
