-- [ ] 8.3 Render each configured controller's connection status in the `ctrlstatus` client command
+- [x] 8.3 Render each configured controller's connection status in the `ctrlstatus` client command
   - Add a status-code-to-string renderer covering all four values plus a safe fallback for an unrecognized code (mirroring the existing responder-role renderer's convention), and extend the client command's existing per-controller line to print the rendered status alongside that controller's name and address.
   - Observable: piping `ctrlstatus` through the client prints each configured controller's connection status alongside its existing name:address line.
   - _Requirements: 13.1, 13.6_
