Show the landing version and explain compaction settings - #356

Conversation
An operator has no way to tell which build is running once the terminal is open, which matters when a release changes default behaviour. The version is read from package.json and painted beside the two existing hints so it cannot drift from what shipped.
Summarize and drop named the mechanism but not the tradeoff: an operator had no way to know summarize spends a model call while drop is free, or that drop also strips tool output from every turn it keeps, not only the ones it discards. The setting row now states the cost difference, that behaviour, and which mode is the default.
At 80 columns the description zone gives impact exactly one wrapped line with no truncation marker, so the previous sentence silently cut off before "output" — the exact fact the copy exists to state. Shortened it so the cost difference and the strip-in-kept-turns behaviour both survive at the harness's default width.
