Michael Neale ebf34346ca feat(mesh): honest empty state and named startup stages
Two idle situations shared one branch and read identically, which was the
confusion: a community with compute to offer is an invitation, while an empty
one is a call to be first. They now say different things, and neither is an
error — an empty mesh is a normal state.

A machine that cannot host anything gets its own line rather than an
instruction it cannot follow: it can still consume shared compute once somebody
else shares. This pairs with the fit-aware recommendation, which now returns
None for such machines instead of a model that would not load.

An unfetched snapshot is still distinguished from a genuinely empty one, so
"be the first" never renders as a verdict on other people's machines during
startup.

Startup was one opaque "Starting to share…" covering resolve, download, and
load. The download dominates — minutes for a multi-gigabyte model — so it is
now named and measured ("Downloading model · 29%", "5 GB of 17 GB · first run
only"). A download with no known total says "Downloading model…" rather than
fabricating 0%.
