v3.0.3

6-Tier Pace System

• Pace Status Engine: New PaceStatus enum with 6 urgency tiers — Comfortable, On Track, Warming, Pressing, Critical, Runaway — projecting end-of-period usage from current consumption rate
• Pace Marker on Menu Bar: Bold ┃ marker drawn at elapsed-time position on progress bars, colored by 6-tier pace (green → teal → yellow → orange → red → purple)
• Pace Marker on Statusline: ANSI-colored ┃ inserted into the ASCII progress bar at the correct elapsed position in the terminal
• Pace Marker on Popover: Time marker upgraded from 1.5px line to 2.5px rounded rectangle, colored by pace status
• Independent Toggles: "Show Pace Marker" and "Pace tier colors" are independently controllable in both menu bar and statusline settings

3 Color Modes (Menu Bar + Statusline)

• Multi-Color: Threshold-based colors for usage indicators (default behavior)
• Greyscale: No colors — adapts to menu bar appearance / terminal theme
• Single Color: User picks a custom hex color applied to all elements
• Color Mode UI: New "Statusline Colors" settings card with 3 selectable mode buttons and ColorPicker for Single Color
• Backwards Compatible: Old monochromeMode: true/false automatically migrated to new colorMode system

Label & Formatting Toggles

• Show/Hide "Ctx:" Label: Toggle the Ctx: prefix on context display
• Show/Hide "Usage:" Label: Toggle the Usage: prefix on usage display
• Show/Hide "Reset:" Label: Toggle the Reset: prefix on reset time
• 24-Hour Time Format: Override system time format for reset time display (both statusline and preview)

Terminal-Matching Preview

• ANSI Color Preview: ClaudeCodeView preview now renders with ANSI-equivalent terminal colors — blue for directory, green for branch, yellow for model, magenta for profile, cyan for context, 10-level gradient for usage
• Live Pace Colors: Pace marker in preview colored by real pace tier when step colors are enabled
• Real Data: Preview uses actual usage data when available instead of static demo values

New Utilities

• Color+Extensions.swift: Color(hex:) init, toHex() method, hexString property, and NSColor(hex:) for hex color conversion
• Date.roundedToNearestMinute(): Strips seconds from reset time to prevent display flickering

Bug Fixes

• CPU Spin-Loop Fix: Fixed 104% CPU caused by per-button effectiveAppearance KVO creating infinite redraw loops — replaced with single NSApp observer + image data cache deduplication
• Reset Time Rounding: Reset time now rounds to nearest minute to prevent "pinballing" between e.g. 6:59 and 7:00
• Pace Marker Restoration: Pace marker preserved correctly after session resets

Refactoring

• MenuBarManager: Removed empty observeAppearanceChanges() no-op and unused appearanceObserver; simplified statusBarAppearanceDidChange() by removing debounce timer (safe due to image cache)
• StatusBarUIManager: image.isTemplate set before assigning to button.image to avoid extra KVO; template mode disabled when pace marker is active
• WindowCoordinator: Removed sizingOptions workaround; uses Constants.WindowSizes.popoverSize
• PopoverContentView: Removed .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) that caused layout issues
• MenuBarIconConfiguration: Replaced monochromeMode: Bool with colorMode: MenuBarColorMode + singleColorHex; custom encode(to:) no longer writes legacy key

Localization

• Updated all 9 localization files with new keys for pace marker, color mode, and label toggles
• New keys: claudecode.component_pace_marker, claudecode.pace_marker_info, appearance.show_pace_marker_title, appearance.show_pace_marker_description, appearance.pace_marker_section_title
