Status line: custom segments tuned for fleet bars; slim frank-archon label

Named presets silently ignore leftSegments/rightSegments - the nerd
preset's baked arrays were what we saw, and the configured arrays were
dead. preset: custom with explicit arrays: chip (right) = token_in,
token_out, cost, context_pct, time_spent; strip (left) = session_name,
vim, mode, hostname, model, path, git (branch text off - worktree
branches are autogenerated; dirty badges kept), pr. Cut tok/s duplicate,
clock, cache trio, context_total, subagents, session hash. Composer
shape stays claude after live box/band/rule trials. models.yml display
name frank-archon drops the (dankserver) suffix; id untouched.
Docs: pi/statusline.md records the preset-vs-custom trap, shape->segment
routing, and the context-meter truth.

# OMP Status Line Customization
Ground truth from the installed bundle (`@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`)
verified live on blankpad 2026-10-18. All knobs live in
`agent/config.yml` under `statusLine:` (tracked — see
[Command Center repo](../core/index.md)); the file is file-watched, so edits
repaint a running session without restart (verify visually: niri screenshot,
see [niri capture recipe](../system/index.md)).
## 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`.
## Composer shape routes the segments
`composer.shape` decides *where* the two segment arrays render:
| shape | leftSegments | rightSegments |
|---|---|---|
| `claude` (fleet) | bottom strip, left-aligned | top rule chip, right-aligned |
| `rule` | same as claude, gap above strip | same |
| `band` | merged single row above editor | same row, right side (title skipped — it rides the working row) |
| `box` | box top border | box top border |
| `borderless` / `pi` / `field` / `rail` | 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.
## Segment universe (27)
`pi`, `status`, `model`, `mode`, `path`, `git`, `pr`, `subagents`,
`token_in`, `token_out`, `token_total`, `token_rate`, `cost`, `context_pct`,
`context_total`, `time_spent`, `time`, `session`, `hostname`, `cache_read`,
`cache_write`, `cache_hit`, `session_name`, `usage`, `collab`, `stream`, `vim`.
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).
## The context meter
The red rule in the `claude` shape **is** the context 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 (`57%×—200K←`) is the
box/band-only part.
## Path segment in worktrees
Inside a git worktree the `path` segment always renders
`projectName/worktreeName` when `segmentOptions.path.stripWorkPrefix` is true
(default), or the abbreviated cwd otherwise — base-directory-only is not
renderable. `maxLength` clips tail-first.
## Fleet configuration (2026-10-18)
- Chip (right): `session_name` was moved to the strip; chip = `token_in`,
`token_out`, `cost`, `context_pct`, `time_spent` — pure numbers, stable width.
- Strip (left): `session_name`, `vim`, `mode`, `hostname`, `model`, `path`,
`git` (no branch text — worktree branches are autogenerated names), `pr`.
- Deliberately cut: `token_rate` (lives on the working row), `time` (panel
clock), `cache_*` (noise), `context_total` (implied by `x/200K`),
`subagents`, `session`.
- 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).
