// MeniscusHold — time-to-first-token rendered as calibrated capillary rise.
// A narrow tube fills toward a scribed line marking the historical p50
// first-token latency for this model/tool combo; the rise is eased so the
// meniscus reaches that line exactly when a response typically lands. It
// never fakes progress past what it can justify: reaching the p50 line with
// nothing having arrived doesn't keep climbing toward "done" — the liquid
// HOLDS there and trembles (an honest "still waiting, later than usual"
// signal) while a second scribe line for p95 fades in above it. Past p95 the
// tremble stops — trembling forever would itself be a lie about how confident
// the wait still is — and a stall affordance (retry / switch model) surfaces.
// First token landing (`arrivedAt` set) drains the tube fast, ease-out-expo,
// from wherever the level currently sits.
//
// Three states, three honest phrases, announced only on the transition
// between them (role=status, not a running commentary):
//   waiting -> "Waiting, typically N seconds."
//   slow    -> "Taking longer than usual."
//   stalled -> "May be stalled, retry available."
// Distinct from status-glyph-cadence (liveness — the connection is alive, no
// notion of "how long is normal") and password-strength-tide (liquid level
// encodes input strength, not elapsed-time-vs-percentile). This is the only
// one of the three built from a calibrated latency distribution.
//
// Timing is derived from `startedAt`/`p50Ms`/`p95Ms` via two scheduled
// setTimeouts (not a rAF poll — there's nothing to simulate physically here,
// just two thresholds), so a late mount (component created a few hundred ms
// after the real request began) still lands on the correct phase and eases
// in for whatever time remains, rather than replaying the whole rise from
// zero. Pure DOM + CSS + SVG: the fill is a div, the meniscus is a 1-path SVG
// riding its top edge, both colored from --foreground/--ns-muted, no canvas.
// prefers-reduced-motion drops the rise/tremor/fade entirely and swaps in a
// static three-segment strip (within-normal / slow / stalled) — the same
// phase machine, same announcements, nothing depends on perceiving motion.
