v2.0.0

A ground-up v2, designed around one idea: quiet when healthy, loud exactly where something needs attention.

What's new

  • New layout — a refined single line (model · context · dir+git · cost · duration · lines ± · effort · badges) plus an always-visible rate-limit dashboard with █░ bars for the 5-hour window, 7-day window, per-model weekly limits (data the official UI doesn't surface), and extra-usage credits.
  • Semantic color — one escalation scale everywhere (yellow ≥70%, orange ≥80%, red ≥90%), model name colored by family (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku/Fable), steady bold ⚠ instead of blinking.
  • stdin-first data — rate limits, cost, duration, lines changed, effort, fast-mode/thinking/vim/output-style badges, and subagent name all come from Claude Code's own status JSON (≥2.1.140 recommended; older versions degrade gracefully). The usage API is only queried for enrichment, cached per-user with a single-flight lock and negative caching.
  • Configuration system — zero-config by default; ~/.config/claude-epic-status-line/config.sh (scaffolded by install.sh, all knobs commented out) + CESL_* env overrides: thresholds, palette + model hues, bar width, glyph sets (unicode/nerd/ascii), per-segment toggles, currency conversion, cache TTL.
  • explain subcommand — pipe a status JSON through statusline.sh explain to see the raw input, every parsed value, cache state, and effective config.
  • Adversarially reviewed — four review rounds (Claude + Codex); 34 findings fixed: terminal-escape injection, OAuth token exposure on argv, arithmetic overflow/octal traps, hostile-JSON handling, installer data-loss paths, cache races, macOS portability bugs. Hostile inputs now degrade, never corrupt.

Breaking changes

  • Rate-limit labels renamed current/weekly → 5-hour/7-day; bars are now █░ (dots via CESL_GLYPHS if you miss them).
  • Effort is read from the session's stdin (effort.level) — the ~/.claude/settings.json effort read is gone.
  • The usage cache moved to a per-user directory ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/claude-statusline-$UID or equivalent).
  • Blinking context warning replaced by a steady bold one.

Upgrade

cd claude-epic-status-line && git pull && bash install.sh
