Dogfood finding (Nikola, 2026-07-30). Regression introduced with the empty-state in #71/v0.3.18.

Opening an empty folder correctly shows "This folder is empty." — but the status line is never cleared, so the message stays visible after navigating into a folder that does contain files.

Fix: clear the status line at the start of every directory load and only set it when the listing is genuinely empty. Same treatment for the other transient statuses that outlive their view.
