fix(tui): add area offset to settings popup positioning (closes #31)

- Report save failures in settings instead of silently discarding errors
- Save draft first, commit color_config only on success (prevents split-brain)
- Show error message in red on status bar, stay in Settings mode on failure
- Clear error on Esc, entering settings, or any settings edit
- Rewrite truncate_to_columns as dedicated O(prefix) truncator
- Tab: stop before tab if expansion would exceed width
- Fixes pre-existing test_truncate_to_columns_tab failure
