🤖 feat: responsive ChatInput controls with compact display (#517)

Changes chat controls to use compact display on narrow viewports instead
of hiding elements entirely.

## Changes

### 1. **1M Context Label**
- Changed from "1M Context" to just "1M" (always, not viewport
dependent)
- Reduces horizontal space usage while keeping meaning clear

### 2. **Thinking Slider**
- Wide viewports (>550px): Full slider with visual feedback
- Narrow viewports (≤550px): Compact clickable badge that cycles through
levels (off → low → medium → high → off)
- Badge maintains the same visual styling (color, glow) as the slider
label
- Tooltip explains click-to-cycle behavior

### 3. **Mode Switch**  
- Wide viewports (>550px): Shows both "Exec" and "Plan" buttons in
toggle group
- Narrow viewports (≤550px): Shows only the active mode as a clickable
badge that cycles to the other mode
- Maintains same color styling (exec mode = blue, plan mode = purple)

## Technical Implementation

- Added `compact` prop to `ThinkingSliderComponent` and `ToggleGroup`
components
- Both full and compact versions are rendered in DOM, CSS handles
show/hide with `max-[550px]:hidden` and `max-[550px]:flex`
- Compact controls use click-to-cycle pattern for toggling between
states
- All controls remain fully functional at any viewport size

## Testing

- ✅ `make typecheck` passes
- ✅ `make lint` passes
- ✅ `make test` passes (955 tests)
- Verified responsive behavior at 400px, 500px, 550px, and 800px
viewport widths
