Subject: [PATCH] Balance checklist progress chart against the bullet column

Cap the progress pie to a smaller, fixed slot and give the freed width to
the bullets. This keeps the visual split closer to 50/50 instead of letting
the chart dominate, and lets the text grow to use the full slide height so
it stays readable on checklists with many items.
