Closes #995.

Delivery order: merge the responsive-footer PR first and the structured-RDD PR second.

Summary

  • Present project, branch/dirty state, session, model/review, context/usage, and integrations in a compact responsive Status sidebar.
  • Preserve data-source precedence, usage windows, session naming, dirty state, and opaque integration content.
  • Bound ANSI and Unicode output to the available visible width.

Changes

File Change
lib/shell-bar.ts Render compact responsive Status-sidebar fields.
tests/shell-sidebar-layout.test.ts Cover layout, ordering, responsive fallback, and width handling.
tests/gentle-shell.test.ts Verify source precedence, dirty state, session name, and retained usage windows through live wiring.

Validation

  • pnpm test — 2,358 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed
  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm run check:runtime-modules
  • node scripts/verify-package-files.mjs
  • pnpm run test:packed-package
  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD

Integration evidence

feat/unified-shell-status@6cb1c53a applies the exact three delivery tips to current main. Its full suite passed with 2,386 tests, 11 skipped, and no failures. The integration branch is disposable evidence and is not submitted as a PR.

Rollback

Revert only compact presentation changes; responsive footer and structured RDD status remain intact.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Redesigned the shell sidebar with clearer sections for project, model, context, usage, review, and integrations.
    • Added RDD status indicators showing whether review mode is on, off, or unavailable, including scope details where available.
    • Added usage gauges and percentage summaries for provider rate-limit windows.
    • Added responsive layouts that adapt between two-column and stacked views.
    • Improved display of project, model, branch, session, and integration details.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved usage reporting when provider window data is available.
    • Prevented formatting artifacts from appearing in integration status details.
    • RDD status now safely handles unavailable or outdated status information.

Walkthrough

The shell sidebar now renders compact, responsive project, model, context, usage, and integration groups. Usage windows use gauges and percentages. Tests cover width limits, Unicode values, sanitized status text, and rail usage precedence.

Changes

Compact status sidebar

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sidebar layout helpers
lib/shell-bar.ts
Added layout constants and helpers for project names, wrapped groups, responsive columns, capitalization, and provider usage windows.
Structured sidebar rendering
lib/shell-bar.ts
Reorganized the sidebar into project, model, context, usage, and integrations sections. Narrow layouts stack the groups.
Sidebar and rail validation
tests/shell-sidebar-layout.test.ts, tests/gentle-shell.test.ts
Added coverage for compact values, missing fields, Unicode and ANSI handling, responsive widths, dynamic usage windows, dirty counts, session names, and usage-window precedence.

Explanation

PR #1004 satisfies the project basename, session, Model-before-Review, Context-before-Usage, stacked narrow layout, first-limit usage windows, opaque full-width integrations, visible-width tests, and bottom-bar preservation requirements in [#995]. The current sidebar still builds branchStatus by joining the full branch and dirty count before wrapTextWithAnsi wraps the line. A long branch can place +N on a separate rendered line. The long-branch test checks width only and does not check same-line placement.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use platform-aware basename extraction.

buildShellBarModel passes the session working directory to both renderers. On Windows, the slash-only split returns C:\workspace\project instead of project. The sidebar shows the full path, and the overflowing bottom bar has the same defect through compactModel.

Import basename from node:path and return basename(cwd).

Add regression coverage for both renderers. Use C:\workspace\project on Windows and a POSIX path on other supported hosts. Assert that both renderers display project and not the parent path.

As per path instructions, “Behavior changes here must ship with their tests in the same PR.”

🟠 Major · Keep extension event listeners active across session shutdowns. · extensions/gentle-shell.ts:476-476

476-476: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep extension event listeners active across session shutdowns.

Both listeners are installed once but removed during the first session shutdown. Later sessions recreate local state without restoring either listener.

  • extensions/gentle-shell.ts#L476-L476: keep SESSION_CHANGE_RELAY subscribed across sessions, or reinstall it during every session_start.
  • extensions/gentle-shell.ts#L572-L572: keep SESSION_CHANGE_EVENT subscribed across sessions, or reinstall it during every session_start.

The existing session and context guards already make these listeners inert while no session is active.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Let the shared resolver own the status deadline.

The production caller at Line 8774 passes AbortSignal.timeout(RDD_STATUS_TIMEOUT_MS). The shared resolver also creates an internal timeout. The caller timeout starts first, so it normally wins and is classified as caller cancellation. The resolver then does not memoize the timeout result.

During a native outage, each primary agent start can stall for three seconds and launch another native read instead of reusing the 30-second failure memo. Remove the explicit timeout at Line 8774. Pass only a genuine lifecycle cancellation signal.
