fix(watchlist): read the cluster's slot index, and cap the card width

The first version asked the alerts' worked-index — keyed by RAW mode (FT8) —
with a CLASS name (DIGI). Nothing ever matched, and a DXpedition worked on five
bands showed every slot as Needed.

The verdict now reads the cluster's own WorkedCallSlotKeys set, built in the
cached status maps (now unconditionally — it used to exist only when a display
option wanted it). Same index, same mode normalisation as the grid, so the
watchlist can never contradict the cluster about the same spot. The contest
today-set is normalised through the same function.

And the cards column is capped at a reading width instead of stretching
callsign-to-badge lines across the whole window.
