Part of #995.
Closes #715.

Summary

  • Reflow shell status metadata across one to three responsive footer lines.
  • Preserve integration and omission indicators while truncating Unicode branch names safely.
  • Add PTY and table-driven visible-width regression coverage.

Changes

File Change
lib/shell-bar.ts Reflow and safely truncate footer status content.
tests/fixtures/shell-bar-pty.ts Exercise footer rendering through a PTY fixture.
tests/shell-bar.test.ts Cover ANSI, Unicode, double-width, and narrow terminals.
tests/gentle-shell.test.ts Cover shell integration behavior.
docs/gentle-shell.md Document responsive footer behavior.

Validation

  • pnpm test — 2,373 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed
  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm run check:runtime-modules
  • node scripts/verify-package-files.mjs
  • pnpm run test:packed-package

Delivery and rollback

This is the first of three ordered slices. Revert only this branch’s exclusive commits to restore the previous footer without removing structured RDD status or the compact sidebar.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Status-bar information now adapts across one to three lines based on terminal width.
    • Project, session, runtime, provider usage, cost, and integration details are arranged for improved readability.
    • Narrow terminals progressively simplify gauges and summarize overflow with indicators such as +N more.
    • Session names and other status text clip safely without exceeding the available width.
    • Sidebar status information now includes the active session.
  • Documentation

    • Updated status-bar layout and subscription-usage guidance, including the compact five-cell gauge format.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The shell status bar now supports responsive one-to-three-line output. It sanitizes displayed fields, uses compact gauges, preserves project and session information, places runtime and integration data by width, and reports omitted content. Tests and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes

Responsive shell status bar

Layer / File(s) Summary
Responsive renderer and field layout
lib/shell-bar.ts, docs/gentle-shell.md
The renderer builds sanitized fields and lays out project, runtime, and integration lines according to terminal width. Gauges degrade from five cells to two cells to percentages. Sidebar output includes the session.
PTY rendering fixture
tests/fixtures/shell-bar-pty.ts
A CLI fixture accepts width, theme, and diagnostic options, renders a fixed model, and reports visible line widths.
Renderer behavior coverage
tests/shell-bar.test.ts
Tests cover multiline placement, gauge degradation, omission indicators, sanitization, ANSI and Unicode width handling, and grapheme-safe clipping.
Gentle-shell integration coverage
tests/gentle-shell.test.ts
Integration tests validate provider usage, cost, sanitized statuses, bounded output, multiline rendering, and separation from the changes widget.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d65bd

On extremely narrow terminals, some integration statuses can disappear without indicating that content was omitted. This is localized display degradation but should be addressed before relying on the new omission-reporting behavior.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies width bounding, Unicode-aware clipping, branch sanitization, and responsive line layout. It does not satisfy all status requirements in #715. semanticLine replaces statuses that do not fit with +N integrations or +N more, and the narrow-width tests accept this behavior. This drops the status text instead of reflowing every status segment onto continuation lines. The implementation retains omission indicators, but an omission count does not preserve the extension statuses themselves.

Resolution

Change the narrow-layout logic so every sanitized extension status is rendered on a continuation line, with Unicode-safe truncation when a single status exceeds the available width. Keep integration and runtime omission indicators only for content that the layout intentionally cannot render.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 13.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 15 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report omitted integrations at narrow widths.

At widths below five, a status that does not fit is discarded without i!. At width five, one fitting status can also hide additional statuses without an omission indicator.

Reserve the third row for i! when all effective statuses cannot be displayed. Add regression cases for multiple short statuses and one oversized status.

Also applies to: 263-272
