Add a comprehensive TUI for Helios that provides real-time monitoring of: - Current block numbers (latest, safe, finalized where applicable) - Sync status with progress indication - Block production rate and age - Recent block history with timestamps - Detailed block information panel The TUI is network-aware and adapts its display based on the chain type: - Ethereum shows finalized and safe blocks - OpStack/Linea networks only show latest blocks - Special handling for OpStack/Linea sync detection Implementation uses ratatui for terminal rendering with: - Auto-refreshing display (1 second intervals) - Local timezone for timestamps - Dynamic block age calculation - Unlimited block history during session - Clean, colorful interface with visual indicators
- Remove unused parent_hash field from BlockInfo - Remove unused chain_id field from App struct - Replace single-pattern match with if let expression
- Simplify sync status to just Synced/Syncing states - Remove network-specific hardcoding for block types - Dynamically check block availability for all networks - Extract helper functions for cleaner draw_latest_block_details - Unify block fetching with update_block_type helper method - Add Safe block type support (display only, not in history)
- Add ratatui to codespell ignore words to fix CI check - Run cargo fmt on TUI code
