BaseUI: Implementation of Status Message for Favorite and NodeList views (#9504)

Xaositek · web-flow · commit 6208c243f96d · 2026-04-17T08:42:56.000-05:00
* Implementation of Status Message

* Change drawNodeInfo to drawFavoriteNode

* Truncate overflow on Favorite frame

* Set MAX_RECENT_STATUSMESSAGES to 5 to meet memory usage targets
