Subject: [PATCH] fix(tui): Trigger initial render when start() is called

The demos were not showing any output until user input because:
- Components were added before ui.start() was called
- addChild calls requestRender() but it returns early if \!isStarted
- So no initial render happened until user input triggered one

Now ui.start() triggers an initial render if components exist.
