# Bug 430: Status command traffic light dots not coloured in Matrix

## Description

The traffic light dots in the status command use plain Unicode characters (○ ● ◑ ✗) which render without colour in Matrix. The HTML formatted_body should use data-mx-color to colour them green/yellow/red.

## How to Reproduce

Send the status command to the bot in Matrix. Observe the dots are monochrome.

## Actual Result

Dots render as plain monochrome Unicode characters.

## Expected Result

Dots render in colour: green (● running), yellow (◑ throttled), red (✗ blocked), grey (○ idle). Use font tag with data-mx-color attribute for Matrix HTML formatted_body.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] HTML formatted_body uses <font data-mx-color="#colour">dot</font> for each traffic light state
- [ ] Green (#00cc00) for running, yellow (#ffaa00) for throttled, red (#cc0000) for blocked, grey (#888888) for idle
- [ ] Plain text fallback remains unchanged (Unicode dots for non-HTML transports)
