slosh: put-away panes are miniature pane frames
Brackets were tried and still read as text. Each min-bar entry is now a three-row chip wearing a real pane frame -- the same corners, because a frame is what a pane *looks like* in this program, so a shrunken one reads as exactly what it is: a pane, clickable. The put-away mark rides inside each chip and the lone legend is gone; a rung pane's bell mark keeps its own colour inside the frame; hover lights the whole chip and the whole chip is the hit. The bar costs three rows instead of one while anything is minimised (and nothing when nothing is), which is what an affordance that works is worth.
