refactor(ui): improve dashboard overlay layout density #844

Description

@cpcloud

The dashboard overlay has several layout inefficiencies visible when sections are expanded:

  • Blank lines between collapsed sections -- each collapsed header ("Overdue 5", "Upcoming 2", etc.) is separated by a blank line, consuming vertical space that could hold actual content. With 4-5 collapsed sections this wastes 4-5 lines.

  • Content doesn't fill the 72-column width -- incident names + priority + reported columns only use ~40 columns, leaving ~30 empty on the right side of the box. The mini-table columns don't expand to use available space.

  • Vertical budget is tight when multiple sections expand -- with Incidents expanded (3 rows + column header + separator), there's limited room for other sections to expand simultaneously, even on tall terminals.

Spotted during a dynamic resize audit at 200x60.
