fix: DRY compliance and platform compatibility for v0.1.23

DRY Principle Compliance:
- Consolidate ErrorCategory enum into single source in event_system.py
- Consolidate RECOVERABLE_CATEGORIES into event_system.py
- Remove duplicate format_size() from batch_tui.py (now imports from terminal_utils.py)
- Add config constants: EVENT_DISPATCH_TIMEOUT, EVENT_DISPATCH_FAST_TIMEOUT, HTML_CHUNK_SIZE, HTML_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE
- Update apias.py, event_system.py, status_pipeline.py to use centralized constants

Platform Compatibility:
- Fix terminal size detection with try/except fallback for headless/CI environments
- Add DEFAULT_TERMINAL_WIDTH fallback in _clear_line() and create_summary_box()

All 351 tests pass (72.53% coverage)
