Bring NucleicRemote closer to desktop parity in two areas (the core
sync loop was already at parity — shared protocol, control scope).
Transcript fidelity (iOS): a client-side TranscriptProjection coalesces
streaming text by messageID and folds each tool call's lifecycle
(start/deltas/complete/result/fileChange) into one expandable card —
fixing the duplicate started+completed rows. Adds Markdown bubbles, the
gold Orchestra card for Task/Agent spawns, and the previously-dropped
usage/cost, rate-limit, file-change, turn-boundary and session-started
rows, plus a context-window % header badge.
Mid-session controls + model catalog (protocol/host/iOS): project the
host ModelCatalog over the wire as WireModelCatalog (in Welcome); add 5
control-scope setters (setSessionModel/Effort/Auto/AutoShip/ShipBranch)
backed by the existing AppStore.mutateSession + SessionController hooks;
enrich WireSessionSummary with model/effort/auto/autoShip/shipBranch/
contextInputTokens (all forward-compatible). The composer gains a model
picker and a catalog-driven effort menu (per-backend caps: Codex→xhigh,
Grok→auto), and the session header gains a model/effort/auto/autoship
control bar.
Tests: CBOR round-trips for the new messages, Welcome.modelCatalog, the
new summary fields, forward-compat decode of old bytes, and the setters
reaching the host. Verified in the Simulator (NUCLEIC_DEMO=1).

Lengthens the glow pulse period from 0.9s to 2.6s (macOS + iOS), keeping the bold
amplitude — the easeInOut lingers at the baseline, so each pulse now lands
deliberately with a clear gap rather than strobing. The effort-label sparkle keeps
time with it.

Swaps the Orchestra accent from violet to a warm gold (AppTheme.orchestra +
iOS Palette.orchestra), so the composer glow, effort label, and subagent cards all
read gold. Tunes the glow harder — a ~0.9s pulse (was 1.8s) with a thicker stroke
and a bigger outer bloom that swells on the beat — so an Orchestra turn announces
itself. Reduce Motion still holds the glow steady. Against a Control project's
lavender accent, the gold glow stands out cleanly.

Orchestra is a Nucleic Control capability now:
- Core: SessionController withholds the fan-out consent unless the session's project
is under Control (resolvedEffort still maps the sentinel to xhigh, so a stray
selection never reaches a backend verbatim). Covered by a new SessionController test.
- macOS: the effort menu shows Orchestra disabled with a 'Requires Nucleic Control'
note + tooltip off-control; effectiveEffort demotes a carried-over selection so the
label/glow never show it active where it can't run.
- Home composer themes lavender (the Control accent) for a Control project — the
Auto/Merge accents and a persistent ring on the field, tracking the project picker.
- Remote: WireProject carries isNucleicControlled (decode-tolerant) so the iOS effort
picker gates Orchestra the same way.

Renames the orchestration mode's user-facing brand and all code identifiers
(UltracodeStyle→OrchestraStyle, isUltracode→isOrchestra, AppTheme.ultracode→
.orchestra, etc.). The canonical effort sentinel becomes "orchestra"; the legacy
"ultracode" token is still recognized so a persisted/in-flight session keeps
working. Comment referencing Claude Code's own ultracode mode kept accurate.
