ticker: redesign — news-wire aesthetic, drop the bright label box

The previous version used solid neon-green / neon-cyan blocks for
the "Live Wire" / "On Calendar" labels which read as too aggressive
against the otherwise dark-navy site. Replaced with a real news-wire
look:

- Pulse-dot indicator (animated breathing dot) + small-caps mono
  label on the left, separated from the feed by a thin rule.
- Item codes (SONY / MTRX / NAB) become small bordered chips with
  subtle neon background tint instead of bare colored text.
- Timestamps are mid-gray monospace; titles are clean Inter at
  13px with slight letter-spacing.
- Top + bottom of each bar get a hairline gradient (neon→cyan
  on row 1, dimmer cyan-only between rows) instead of a hard
  border.
- Items are separated by faint vertical hairlines, padded
  consistently.
- Marquee slowed slightly (110s / 170s) so titles are legible.

Same data sources (news + events), same scroll directions, just
better visual integration with the rest of the dark-navy site.
