@lohitkotni, thanks for offering, but we don't generally accept code contributions. See this post for details.

I think the current behavior was by design, but we'll discuss your feedback.

@etraut-openai thanks - looks odd though because I'm in the middle of typing a long prompt when I suddenly realize "oh - what model am I working with? what branch was this? wait which terminal am I in?"

This is a regression from when there was no status-line - I could at least see some basic information.

Addendum: this doesn't happen all the time, and I can't tell when and why it happens. For instance it's currently working on a task and if I start typing, the status line does not disappear. But then at some point (maybe when it's not doing anything) is when it does? Either way, honestly this isn't helpful.
