-- [ ] 7.5 Render the election term and time in the `ctrlstatus` client command
+- [x] 7.5 Render the election term and time in the `ctrlstatus` client command
   - Print the primary's election term and election time next to the primary's identity in the client command's output, rendering the election time on the same clock/format already used for the responder snapshot timestamp; render both as "unknown" whenever the primary identity itself is reported as unknown.
   - Observable: piping `ctrlstatus` through the client prints the election term and a log-comparable election-time string alongside the existing fields when a primary is known, and prints "unknown" for both when it is not.
   - _Requirements: 12.1, 12.3, 12.4, 12.6_
