v0.5.0 — Human display names, separator rule, configurable truncation

@Flagrare Flagrare released this 03 Jun 14:42

Three statusline-row improvements that surfaced from real use.

Public API

  • Topics carry a display_name. /tutor-start "What closures are in Python" now stores both the slug (what-closures-are-in-python, the state-file key) and the original subject string ("What closures are in Python", what the statusline renders). Mixed case, spaces, reads as the question you asked rather than a path-style identifier. Existing topics from before this release continue to render their slug — backward compatible.

Behaviour

  • Separator rule between host statusline and llm-tutor's row. When the wrapper has an original statusline to append beneath, it now emits a dim full-width horizontal rule above our segment row. Signals "this is a separate section" so your eye doesn't read llm-tutor's row as another row of the host's content. Width auto-detects via $COLUMNStput cols → 80. Mode-aware character: for emoji/nerd/unicode, - for ascii. No rule when llm-tutor is the entire statusline.
  • Default truncation bumped from 20 → 40 characters. Most real subject lines now render full-width.
  • New SLUG_MAX_LEN knob in ~/.claude/llm-tutor/statusline.conf. Set to 0 to disable truncation entirely, or any positive integer for a custom cap. Documented in docs/guides/statusline.md.
