In the sub-agents panel (transcript screen), the currently selected/viewed agent is shown with a '>' prefix and yellow text. Instead, use row-level color highlighting (e.g. reversed or bold style on the full row) so the cursor character is not needed — matching how ratatui Table highlights work.\n\nThe rendering is in the subagent_lines iterator in src/tui/screens/transcript.rs. Replace the '> {short_id}  {agent_type}' format with '  {short_id}  {agent_type}' and apply a highlight style (e.g. Modifier::REVERSED) to the selected row span instead.



## Summary of Changes

Replaced '>' prefix + yellow fg on selected/viewing agent row with Modifier::REVERSED on the full span in the subagent_lines iterator (src/tui/screens/transcript.rs). All rows now use '  {short_id}  {agent_type}' text; the highlight is conveyed entirely through the reversed video style.
