Problem

The git_status column currently collapses entirely when a repository is clean or when no visible entries have a git status. That makes the listing shift horizontally as repositories move between clean and dirty states.

Solution

Opt git_status into canola.nvim's all_empty_width hook so it reserves width 1 in compact and symbol modes and width 2 in porcelain mode whenever the current directory is part of a git repository. Non-git directories still collapse the column entirely, and the new behavior is covered with focused canola-git tests.

closes #39
