Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(observer): use lifecycle item title as verb instead
 of hardcoded "Status"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Lifecycle items (Commands, Mode, Usage) were all rendered as
"Status Commands · ..." instead of "Commands · ...". Use the item's
own title as the verb and text as the object.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(test): use exact match for Commands text in observer
 feed E2E
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The verb change from "Status" to the item's title causes two elements
to match getByText("Commands") — the verb span and the object span.
