Sebastian Krüger a6a6f84618 fix: make bar length actually update during drag with visual feedback
Fixed the draggable bars to show immediate visual feedback!

Problem: Bars didn't resize during drag because:
- Switching source unit kept relative proportions the same (log scale)
- Bar width was using item.percentage which didn't update visually
- No direct visual feedback for the dragged bar

Solution: Use draggedPercentage state for immediate visual updates
- Added draggedPercentage state to track visual position during drag
- Save baseConversionsRef when drag starts (preserves original scale)
- Calculate new value from percentage using BASE scale (not updated scale)
- Use displayPercentage = isDragging ? draggedPercentage : item.percentage
- Bar width and percentage label both use displayPercentage

How it works now:
1. Mouse/touch down: save base conversions and current percentage
2. Mouse/touch move: calculate new percentage from drag delta
3. Set draggedPercentage state immediately (visual update!)
4. Calculate value from percentage using BASE scale
5. Call onValueChange to update conversions
6. Dragged bar shows draggedPercentage, others show calculated percentage
7. On release: clear draggedPercentage, bars settle to calculated positions

Result: The dragged bar now visually follows your cursor in real-time!
