* perf: cache base_url.lower() via property, consolidate triple load_config(), hoist set constant
run_agent.py:
- Add base_url property that auto-caches _base_url_lower on every
assignment, eliminating 12+ redundant .lower() calls per API cycle
across __init__, _build_api_kwargs, _supports_reasoning_extra_body,
and the main conversation loop
- Consolidate three separate load_config() disk reads in __init__
(memory, skills, compression) into a single call, reusing the
result dict for all three config sections
model_tools.py:
- Hoist _READ_SEARCH_TOOLS set to module level (was rebuilt inside
handle_function_call on every tool invocation)
* Use endpoint metadata for custom model context and pricing

Salvaged from PR #1104 by kshitijk4poor. Closes#683.
Adds a persistent status bar to the CLI showing model name, context
window usage with visual bar, estimated cost, and session duration.
Responsive layout degrades gracefully for narrow terminals.
Changes:
- agent/usage_pricing.py: shared pricing table, cost estimation with
Decimal arithmetic, duration/token formatting helpers
- agent/insights.py: refactored to reuse usage_pricing (eliminates
duplicate pricing table and formatting logic)
- cli.py: status bar with FormattedTextControl fragments, color-coded
context thresholds (green/yellow/orange/red), enhanced /usage with
cost breakdown, 1Hz idle refresh for status bar updates
- tests/test_cli_status_bar.py: status bar snapshot, width collapsing,
usage report with/without pricing, zero-priced model handling
- tests/test_insights.py: verify zero-priced providers show as unknown
Salvage fixes:
- Resolved conflict with voice status bar (both coexist in layout)
- Import _format_context_length from hermes_cli.banner (moved since PR)
