Docs: status line page truth-audited against bundle; four claims corrected

Full-source re-verification of pi/statusline.md against dist/cli.js plus a
live screenshot matrix. False and corrected: claude's top rule is NOT the
context meter (meter is box/band only; rule elsewhere is a session-accent
filler); 'Tern-only' composer-bar claim (real knob: composer.tokenRate);
segmentOptions gated to preset custom (they merge under every preset - only
the arrays are gated); mode segment yolo (states are Plan/Prewalk/Goal/
Vibe/Loop). Expanded: 7-preset defaults table, per-shape statusAttachment/
bottomBar model incl. plugin shape registry, contextLine per-value behavior,
27-segment catalog with triggers and options, segmentOptions schema, full
statusLine.*/composer.* knob registry. Changelog entry added.

# Bundle Change Log
## 2026-10-18 — Status line docs truth audit (full-source re-verification)
Exhaustive claim-by-claim re-audit of [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md) against the minified `dist/cli.js` bundle plus a live screenshot matrix (band × {off, percentage, embedded}, claude × off). Page carries an **Audit log** section; four first-pass claims were false and are corrected (see there): claude's rule is *not* the context meter (meter is `box`/`band` only; the "red rule" was the session-accent filler), the "Tern-only" composer-bar claim was bogus (the readout is `composer.tokenRate`, default off), `segmentOptions` are **not** gated to `preset: custom` (only the segment arrays are), and the `mode` segment's states are Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop (no yolo). Page expanded with: the 7-preset defaults table, per-shape `statusAttachment`/`bottomBar` model (8 built-ins + plugin shape registry), `contextLine` per-value behavior, the 27-segment catalog with triggers/options, `segmentOptions` schema, and the full `statusLine.*`/`composer.*` knob registry. The bundle's own "(box composer only)" knob description for `contextLine` is upstream-wrong — band honors it.
ServerAppConfigs-docs overlap census: flagged separately for the operator (morning report); no doc merged/changed on either side.
## 2026-10-18 — Status line rebuilt on custom segments; frank-archon display name slimmed
Interactive tune-up of the omp status bar (grilling session, live loop: config edit → watcher repaint → niri screenshot verify). New knowledge page: [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md).
* **Mechanics discovered:** `leftSegments`/`rightSegments` are inert unless `preset: custom` (fleet was on `nerd` with dead arrays); `composer.shape` routes them — `band` merges both arrays into one row above the editor (title rides the working row), `claude` splits them into top chip + bottom strip. The `claude` red rule **is** the context meter (length = usage); `contextLine` label variants render in `box`/`band` — `band` paints the labeled inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`). Working row (`⠿ Working… + tok/s`) is hardcoded — model/thinking can never join it (Tern-only). Eight composer shapes registered in the bundle.
* **Mechanics discovered:** `leftSegments`/`rightSegments` are inert unless `preset: custom` (fleet was on `nerd` with dead arrays; `segmentOptions` *do* merge under named presets); `composer.shape` routes them — `band` merges both arrays into one row above the editor (title rides the working row), `claude` splits them into top chip + bottom strip. The context meter exists **only in `box`/`band`** — `contextLine`: `off` plain rule, `embedded` hoists the context segment into the labeled inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`), `percentage`/`annotated` paint an unlabeled proportional rule meter (all four live-verified); every other shape's rule is a constant session-accent filler. Working row (session title + tok/s readout gated by `composer.tokenRate`, default off) is composer chrome — model/thinking can never join it. Eight composer shapes ship in the bundle; plugins can register more.
* **Final bar (`band`, after a `claude` sojourn):** left = `session_name · vim · mode · hostname · path · git(no branch text) · pr`; right cluster in array order = `model · cost · time_spent` (`context_pct` hoists out of the run to paint the labeled inline meter `60% ——— × 200K` as a flexible spacer between the groups). Cut: tok/s duplicate, clock, cache trio, `context_total`, `subagents`, `session` hash, and `token_in`/`token_out` (cumulative totals live in `/session`). `path`: logical `project/worktree` label (`stripWorkPrefix: true`, kept after a live `false` trial of the full cwd); branch text dropped (worktree branches are autogenerated), dirty badges kept.
* **models.yml:** frank-archon display `name` slimmed to `"frank-archon"` (endpoint suffix dropped; `id` untouched).
* **Out of scope noted:** worktree name generation (`wt-<date>-<hash>`) is omp-internal; possible upstream feature request.

Ground truth from the installed bundle (`@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`),
verified live on blankpad 2026-10-18 and re-audited line-by-line against the
minified source the same day (see [Audit log](#audit-log)). Status knobs live
in `agent/config.yml` under `statusLine:`; the two composer knobs
(`composer.shape`, `composer.tokenRate`) under `composer:`. The file is
file-watched — edits repaint a running session without restart (verify
visually: niri screenshot, see [niri capture recipe](../system/index.md)).
`/settings` (Appearance tab) previews these live with sample data.
## Preset vs custom — the trap
`statusLine.preset` ships whole configurations (`default`, `minimal`,
`compact`, `full`, `nerd`, `ascii`, `custom`). **`leftSegments` /
`rightSegments` / `segmentOptions` are only read when `preset: custom`** —
with any named preset they are silently ignored. The fleet config runs
`preset: custom`.
`statusLine.preset` ships whole configurations. **`leftSegments` /
`rightSegments` are ignored unless `preset: custom`** (`s ? user ?? preset
: preset` in the resolver). **`segmentOptions` is NOT gated** — user options
merge over the preset's own options under *every* preset.
| preset | leftSegments | rightSegments | separator |
|---|---|---|---|
| `default` | pi vim model mode collab stream path git pr context_pct cost | session_name | powerline-thin |
| `minimal` | vim path git | session_name mode context_pct | slash |
| `compact` | vim model mode git pr | session_name cost context_pct | powerline-thin |
| `full` | pi vim hostname model mode path git pr subagents | session_name cache_hit token_in token_out token_rate cache_read cost context_pct time_spent time | powerline |
| `nerd` | pi vim hostname model mode path git pr session subagents | session_name token_in token_out cache_read cache_write token_rate cost context_pct context_total time_spent time | powerline |
| `ascii` | vim model mode path git pr | session_name token_total cost context_pct | ascii |
| `custom` | your `statusLine.leftSegments` | your `statusLine.rightSegments` | powerline-thin |
The built-in default for `statusLine.leftSegments`/`rightSegments` themselves
is the `ascii`-era pair (`vim model mode path git pr` / `session_name
token_total cost context_pct`) — a config carrying those arrays with a named
preset is running the preset, not the arrays. The fleet runs `preset: custom`.
## Composer shape routes the segments
`composer.shape` decides *where* the two segment arrays render:
`composer.shape` decides *where* the two arrays render. Eight shapes ship in
the bundle; the plugin API can register more (`zG()` = built-ins + a live
registration map). Internally each shape carries `statusAttachment`,
`bottomBar`, `bottomBarGap`:
| shape | leftSegments | rightSegments |
|---|---|---|
| `band` (fleet) | merged single row above editor | same row, right side (title skipped — it rides the working row) |
| `claude` | bottom strip, left-aligned | top rule chip, right-aligned |
| `rule` | same as claude, gap above strip | same |
| `box` | box top border | box top border |
| `borderless` / `pi` / `field` / `rail` | single bottom bar | single bottom bar |
| shape | attach | bottom bar | leftSegments | rightSegments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `band` (fleet, default) | top-band | none | merged single row above editor, left | same row, right (`session_name` skipped — title rides the working row) |
| `box` | top-border | none | box top border | box top border |
| `claude` | top-rule-chip | left | bottom strip, left | top rule chip, right-aligned |
| `rule` | top-rule-chip | left + gap | like claude, gap above strip | like claude |
| `pi` | none | full | single bottom bar | single bottom bar |
| `borderless` | none | full | single bottom bar | single bottom bar |
| `field` / `rail` | none | full + gap (filled surface) | single bottom bar | single bottom bar |
The `⠿ Working…` row is hardcoded: shimmer text + `composer.tokenRate` readout
(+ session title in `band` only). Model/thinking-level can never join it
despite the settings description — that composer-bar behavior is Tern-only.
The chip/strip layouts paint their rules as **session-accent fillers, not
meters** — the context meter exists only in `box` and `band`
(see next section). The top-rule chip renders right segments only, the bottom
strip left segments only.
The working row is composer chrome, not segment-addressable: session title +
shimmer, plus the tok/s readout when `composer.tokenRate: true` (default
false). The readout is estimated from streamed deltas, corrected by billed
output counts; the bundle also mentions a native-composer-bar placement in
filled styles.
## The context meter
`statusLine.contextLine` (enum `off` / `percentage` / `annotated` /
`embedded`, default `embedded`) tunes the rule between the segment groups.
The knob description says "box composer only" — **that is wrong**: the meter
renders in `box` **and** `band`; in every other shape the rule is a constant
session-accent filler regardless of this setting (live-verified claude with
`off` vs `embedded`: identical, and not context-proportional).
In box/band:
- `off` → plain accent rule (single color, full width).
- `embedded` → the inline labeled meter: `60% ——— × 200K`. Requires
`contextWindow > 0`, a `context_pct`/`context_total` segment present in
either array, and at least one non-context segment. The context segment(s)
are **hoisted out of the arrays** — they never render as text in this mode.
- `percentage` / `annotated` → unlabeled proportional meter painted into the
rule (live-verified in band: colored fill ∝ usage at the rule's right end);
`context_pct` stays a normal text segment.
Fill length ∝ `min(100, contextPercent)`; >100% paints the raw percent and
shortens the meter. Meter/segment color thresholds scale with window size —
warning at ≥ min(50 %, 150K tokens), purple ≥ min(70 %, 270K), error ≥
min(90 %, 500K); below that the theme's `statusLineContext` color.

Conditional segments render nothing until their trigger exists: `vim` needs
`tui.vimMode`, `mode` needs plan/yolo, `pr` needs an associated PR, `git` shows
staged/unstaged/untracked badges (branch text optional via
`segmentOptions.git.showBranch`), `status` needs an extension push.
`session` = first 8 chars of the session id (resume-by-id handle).
Zero/inactive segments render nothing — dead weight costs no width.
## The context meter
In the `band` shape (fleet) the meter is the labeled inline line between the
segment groups (`60% ———— × 200K`). In the `claude` shape the red rule left of
the right-segment chip **is** the meter: its length tracks context usage.
`statusLine.contextLine` (`off` / `percentage` / `annotated` / `embedded`)
only changes rendering in `box`/`band` — in `claude` all non-`off` values
look identical. Docs' claim that contextLine is "box composer only" is
wrong for the meter itself; the labeled inline variant is the box/band-only
part.

## Fleet configuration (2026-10-18)
- Shape `band`: one merged status row. Left group: `session_name`, `vim`,
`mode`, `hostname`, `path`, `git` (no branch text — worktree branches are
autogenerated names), `pr`. Right group (array order = paint order, so the
last entry hugs the screen edge): `model`, `cost`, `context_pct`,
`time_spent` — `context_pct` hoists out of the run to paint the labeled
inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`) as a flexible spacer between the groups.
`session_name` renders on the working row, not the status row.
- Deliberately cut: `token_rate` (lives on the working row), `time` (panel
clock), `cache_*` (noise), `context_total` (implied by the meter),
`subagents`, `session`, `token_in`/`token_out` (cumulative totals are
in `/session` anyway).
- Model display names slimmed in `models.yml` (`frank-archon`, no endpoint
suffix); `name:` is free-form display, `id:` is the wiring — renaming ids is
the cutover procedure, see [Pi Models](/pi/models.md).
- Shape `band`: one merged status row. Left group: `session_name`→working
row (skipped), `vim`, `mode`, `hostname`, `path`, `git` (no branch text —
worktree branches are autogenerated names), `pr`. Right group (array order
= paint order, so the last entry hugs the screen edge): `model`, `cost`,
`context_pct`, `time_spent` — `context_pct` hoists out of the run to paint
the labeled inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`) between the groups under
`contextLine: embedded`.
- Deliberately cut: `token_rate` (working-row readout covers it), `time`
(panel clock), `cache_*` (noise), `context_total` (implied by the meter),
`subagents` (live badge supersedes it), `session`, `token_in`/`token_out`
(cumulative totals are in `/session` anyway).
- `models.yml`: frank-archon's display `name` slimmed to `"frank-archon"`
(endpoint suffix dropped); frank-dragoon/frank-zealot keep their endpoint
suffixes. `name:` is free-form display, `id:` is the wiring — renaming ids
is the cutover procedure, see [Pi Models](/pi/models.md).
## Audit log
2026-10-18 full-source re-audit corrected the first pass of this page:
- ~~claude shape's top rule is the context meter~~ — **false**. The
meter code path runs only for `box`/`band`; claude/rule/pi/borderless/
field/rail rules are constant session-accent fillers. (Earlier reading
mistook the accent rule for a meter.)
- ~~working-row composer-bar variant is "Tern-only"~~ — **false**; the
tok/s readout is the `composer.tokenRate` option (default false), title
placement is composer chrome.
- ~~`segmentOptions` gated to `preset: custom`~~ — **false**; options merge
under every preset, only the segment *arrays* are gated.
- ~~`mode` covers yolo~~ — **false**; states are Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop.
- `contextLine` "(box composer only)" — the *bundle description* is wrong;
band honors it too (verified live: `off` plain rule, `percentage` rule
meter, `embedded` inline meter, screenshots + code).
