Subject: [PATCH] fix(story-mode): a stop says where it landed and what was
 saved before it

From review round 8: "STOPPED" with the balloon "Step 3: new tests under
test/." read like progress, and nothing said what the stop left. The
final panel now names the step Claude last announced and the commits made
before the stop: "You stop Claude here, during its step 3. Saved before
the stop: 2 commits."
