Description

What

A customizable, always-available status bar in Argos where the user pins whichever telemetry topics they want to watch at a glance, so those readings stay visible (sticky while scrolling) instead of being hardcoded per page.

Why

Grew out of the LV Battery banner work (#705): that banner is a hardcoded, single-purpose readout pinned to the eFuses page. Generalizing it — let the user choose which topics fill a sticky at-a-glance bar — would serve any "I always want to see X" need without building a bespoke component each time.

Design direction

A proposed architecture — hoist the bar to the app shell, backed by a status-bar service — is captured in the design comment below: https://github.com/Northeastern-Electric-Racing/Argos/issues/709#issuecomment-5014536458

Logged as a raw idea via log-future-addition.
