🚧 The barrier is now always on screen

Fence's proof of protection in Claude Code is no longer a chat message that scrolls away — it's a persistent status line at the bottom of the UI, for the whole session:

🚧 Fence v1.2.0 · 1 pack · 19 rules

If rulepacks fail to load, the line says so instead of showing a quietly lower count (— ⚠️ 1 rulepack failed to load), and if Fence can't load its rules at all, it tells you plainly that tool calls are not being screened. A session without the barrier on screen isn't guarded — now you can tell at a glance, the entire time.

Plays nice with your own status line

The statusLine slot is yours, and Fence never takes it from you:

  • Already have a status line — in the target settings, your user-level ~/.claude/settings.json, or settings.local.json? fence init leaves it untouched and announces through the SessionStart chat banner instead, telling you how to combine the two (append the output of fence hook claude-code statusline from your own statusline command).
  • Configured your own status line after Fence installed its? The next fence init steps aside automatically.
  • fence uninstall removes Fence's status line and never anyone else's.

Upgrading

The status line arrives on your next fence init re-run:

brew upgrade fence        # or: npm update -g @hoophq/fence
fence init --global       # or per-project: fence init

Existing installs keep working unchanged (the SessionStart banner still ships in the binary) — re-running fence init migrates them to the status line. Codex and OpenCode keep their session banners; neither has a status-line surface.
