Release v3.0.0: Activity indicator removed, Recommended workflow section · derjochenmeyer/claude-code-craft-statusline

Breaking changes

Activity indicator removed. The hook-free indicator that showed thinking / executing / researching is gone. It duplicated information that Claude Code already surfaces in the main pane, and its multi-session-visibility use case is better served by a dedicated terminal multiplexer. See the new Recommended workflow section in the README. The show_activity and activity_live_window_secs user-config options are removed; settings already on disk are silently ignored.

Recommended workflow section in the README. Points users at cmux on macOS (browser pane plus context-aware tabs that light up when an agent needs input) and Warp as the cross-platform alternative for parallel Claude Code sessions.

/craft-statusline:status live-preview now uses the same ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-...} default-expansion as /craft-statusline:install. Previously the preview path could resolve to a stale versioned cache; it now falls back to the version-stable marketplace clone path, matching the install wiring.
/craft-statusline:on and /craft-statusline:off validate the field argument in bash. A missing or unrecognized field now exits non-zero with the usage hint, instead of quietly writing an unknown option key into settings.json.
run_custom_field now traps its tempfile cleanup. Previously a stray tempfile could be left behind if the harness interrupted the renderer between mktemp and the explicit rm.
Removed dead code render_with_flags from tests/helpers.bash. Unused by any test.
