Changes

Window flickering (MainWindow.cpp, MainWindow.h):

Replace statusBar()->setStyleSheet() with QPalette color changes
setStyleSheet() was called on every status message (selection, pan, tooltip hover), forcing Qt to recalculate styles across the entire widget tree and repaint the whole window
QPalette changes only repaint the status bar itself

Sketcher icon clipping (KindredCreate.qss):

Add min-height: 24px to QListView::item
Constraint and element icons are 24x24 but the 4px padding was shrinking the available content area, causing icons to be visually clipped

- Replace statusBar()->setStyleSheet() with QPalette color changes
  in MainWindow::showStatus() and clearStatus(). The setStyleSheet()
  call triggered full style recalculation on every status message
  (selection, pan, tooltip hover), causing the entire window to flicker.

- Add min-height: 24px to QListView::item in KindredCreate.qss so
  Sketcher constraint and element icons (24x24) are not clipped by
  the 4px padding.
