Owner request

Show the current file's last-modified date/time, an out-of-date indicator and an Open folder link on the right of the main-window footer.

Acceptance

Retain ordinary status text on the left; align file information and actions on the right.
Show a readable local last-modified date/time for the loaded document. Distinguish the loaded snapshot from a newer disk version; do not imply stale content is current.
Show a clear Changes detected / reload indicator when the displayed snapshot is out of date, including locked/failed reloads. Clear it only after successful reload; handle deletion/unavailability accurately.
Open folder deliberately opens this document's containing directory in Windows Explorer with a literal validated path. Disable or hide file-specific actions when no document is loaded and report launch failures.
Keep each window's file state independent; preserve automatic reload and reading position.
Support keyboard access, accessible names, high contrast, scaling and narrow windows without clipped or overlapping actions.
Verify save/atomic replacement/locked reload/recovery, folder launch and multiple-window behavior in the actual application.

Related: #6, #14, #1. Recorded during paused owner review; implementation and runtime acceptance pending.
