- Stubbed `isSettingsInitialized` to false so crest timing stays deterministic.
- Replaced magic timestamp with named `CLASSIC_CREST_VISIBLE_MS` constant.
- Added `display.shimmer` setting (`classic`, `kitt`, `disabled`) with default `classic` and UI metadata.
- Added shimmer mode resolution with defaulting plus classic/KITT intensity tier profiles and thresholds.
- Added `getFgAnsi` handling across shimmer compilation and progress-bar themes, with fallback ANSI output defaults.
- Reworked shimmer rendering to coalesce same-tier segments, cache palettes by symbol, and map disabled mode to mid-tier.
- Tuned loader timing to a 16ms render interval and 80ms spinner stepping for smoother ~60fps updates.
- Added a new shimmerText helper that computes a moving accent shimmer band across characters.
- Updated the interactive mode loader and slash-command ASCII bar renderer to use shimmer styling, with interrupt hints kept dim.
- Added tests for shimmer-enabled progress rendering and verified the visible bar output remains correct.
