Put the status line under the composer, not in it

Put the status line under the composer, not in it

It was between the two rules, which is the composer's own region: the box a
reader types into had a second line in it that they cannot type on. Moving it
below the closing rule makes it a caption on the box, and a caption sits outside
the thing it describes.
