Subject: [PATCH] fix(tui): keep fmtCwdBranch default, cap cwd at the
 status-bar call site
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Reverts the shared fmtCwdBranch default (28 → 40) so it isn't an API/
behavior change for other callers, and instead passes max=28 explicitly
from the status-bar caller where the tighter cap is intended.
