Compact request activity into a live summary and modal history

 - Keep technical IDs and pipeline labels monospace. Use sentence case for ordinary labels and descriptions.
 - Preserve the six-stage request pipeline: three columns on desktop, two on tablet, one on narrow screens. Issue reports remain a right-hand column on desktop and stack on smaller screens.
 - A media repair starts a new collection cycle: preserve Requested/Approved and unaffected TV episodes, but do not reuse an old torrent or Jellyfin entry to mark the replacement ready. Show Pending → Downloading → Indexing → Available from collector/file evidence. Subtitle-only repairs must not reset video availability.
+- Request action feedback uses a compact Latest activity card beside download status; full event history opens in a native modal dialog without expanding the page. Keep messages outcome-based and do not equate a successful service response with playable media.
 - Desktop navigation stays at the top; mobile navigation stays at the bottom. Dialogs must remain clear of both.
 - The guided issue form uses `portal/IssueFlowStep.tsx`: show one expanded step, collapse completed answers into Change rows, and keep repairs behind the final submit action. Movies use the selected title's managed file directly; only TV needs a season/episode picker. Multi-select controls must expose `aria-pressed` and a visible selected state.

Provide an authorised short-lived session through `REVIEW_SESSION` as `{ "name": "cookie-name", "token": "..." }` in the process environment, never in a committed file.
