Fix status bar rendering in tmux 3.6

[b1ackviking]

Tmux 3.6 does not accept comma-separated modifiers in #[] blocks. Splitting them into separate #[] blocks works.

Closes #366

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR fixes tmux 3.6 compatibility by refactoring the dracula.sh status line configuration to separate formatting attributes into discrete tokens. The change addresses a breaking tmux 3.6 update that no longer supports comma-separated attribute declarations within formatting blocks.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
TMUX Status Line Format Refactoring scripts/dracula.sh	Reworks all status-left and status-right formatting strings to replace composite patterns like #[bg=...,fg=...,bold] with separate tokenized segments (#[bg=...]#[fg=...]#[bold]). Updates window status formatting to split fg/bg settings and insert explicit styling tokens (nobold, nounderscore, noitalics). Maintains visual behavior while achieving tmux 3.6 compatibility.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Primary focus: Verify consistent application of the token-separation pattern across all status line declarations
• Ensure no formatting declarations with commas remain in the file
• Confirm visual output matches the expected powerline appearance after changes

175-175: ✓ Correctly separates comma-separated tmux format modifiers for 3.6 compatibility.

The refactoring properly converts composite format patterns (e.g., #[bg=...,fg=...,bold]) into discrete tokens (e.g., #[bg=...]#[fg=...]#[bold]). The syntax is correct across all changed lines:

• Status-left configurations (lines 175, 177, 181)
• Right-edge and status-right plugin rendering (lines 364, 375, 377, 382, 384)
• Window-status-current formatting (lines 392, 394)

The changes appear complete—unchecked format strings on lines 140–141 and 397 already use the new syntax or don't require changes.

Please confirm testing on tmux 3.6 to verify that the status bar rendering matches the expected output shown in issue #366. If available, test on both transparent and non-transparent powerline modes, with and without edge icons, to ensure all code paths render correctly.

Also applies to: 177-177, 181-181, 364-364, 375-375, 377-377, 382-382, 384-384, 392-392, 394-394
