…arrow Bug: dash panics with “strings: negative Repeat count” Cause: With a narrow-enough sidebar, viewChecksBar() computes a negative width for the progress-bar sections. That negative value gets passed to strings.Repeat(), which panics with “strings: negative Repeat count”. Fix: Clamp the available width to zero, so when the sidebar is narrow, the bar just renders as empty — rather than causing a panic. Fixes dlvhdr#795
