docs(ui): say on the card that a cold first turn is undercounted

The popover explained the counterfactual and stopped there, so nothing
prepared a reader for a total below zero or for a first turn reading at a
fraction of what it saved. The copy that did mention the cold-cache write was
dropped in f66687b; this puts it back and adds the two consequences that
follow from it.

Switching leaves the new model with a cold cache, so it pays to write the prompt again while the baseline is priced as already warm; a route that thrashes the cache can total below zero, and a genuine first turn, where neither side had anything cached, is undercounted."
