Problem

The current icon and highlight language is inconsistent.

Observed:

closed = x and fail = x overload the same glyph
the merged marker highlight did not play nicely with selection state
author and relative time often share the same visual treatment when they should read differently
branch/worktree markers are useful, but their color story is still unsettled

Expected

One pass over icons and highlight roles so the same symbols and colors mean the same things everywhere.
