What does this PR do?

This PR enhances the lualine configuration by implementing a comprehensive MCP Hub status component and creating targeted extensions for better UI consistency. The changes improve the status line experience by providing real-time MCP server status information and creating specialized extensions for different file types.

  • Implement complete MCP Hub Status Component with animated spinner, server count, and color-coded status
  • Add new MCP_Info extension specifically for Avante AI filetypes to show MCP status
  • Extract MCP status component as a reusable variable for better code organization
  • Update dashboard text from "Avante - (GitHub Copilot)" to "Avante AI - (GitHub Copilot)"
  • Add proper section banners for improved code structure

Why is it needed?

The lualine configuration was missing a proper MCP Hub status indicator, making it difficult for users to understand the current state of MCP servers. This enhancement provides:

  • Visual feedback on MCP server connectivity and status
  • Animated indicators when servers are starting/executing
  • Color-coded status (green for ready, orange for connecting, red for errors)
  • Specialized status line for Avante AI workflows

How have the changes been tested?

  • MCP status component displays correctly with proper icons and colors
  • Animated spinner works during server startup/execution phases
  • MCP_Info extension activates properly for Avante filetypes
  • Dashboard text updated successfully
  • No breaking changes to existing lualine functionality
  • Code follows project's Lua standards with proper section organization

Screenshots (if applicable)

N/A - Status line changes are functional and provide visual feedback based on MCP server state

Checklist

  • MCP Hub Status Component implemented with full functionality
  • Animated status indicators for server state changes
  • Color-coded visual feedback for different server states
  • New MCP_Info extension created for Avante filetypes
  • Reusable component structure for future extensions
  • Dashboard text updated for consistency
  • Proper section banners and code organization
  • No functional regressions in existing lualine behavior

- Create shared_x_components variable containing mcp_status_component

- Update both main lualine config and Blank extension to use shared variable

- Improve code reusability and maintainability

- Eliminate duplication of lualine_x configuration

- Add proper section banners for better code organization
