📝 docs: say when the menu bar icon actually appears
The interface reference said the icon turns grey when the network drops and takes an orange badge when a client needs a sign-in, which reads as though the icon sits alongside the cells. StatusItemBuilder sets showsIcon to cells.isEmpty, so it replaces them: a provider that is signed out beside one that is working shows no icon at all, and the reader is left watching the wrong thing.
