v1.0.0

The first tagged release.

What Ships

• Line 1, session: model, reasoning effort, a blue → amber → red context bar,
  tokens used of the window, and lines added and removed.
• Line 2, limits: 5-hour and 7-day usage, pace against the clock (⇡ burning fast,
  ⇣ under pace), and time until each window resets.
• Line 3, git: the launch folder in its own shimmering workspace colour, the repo
  you're in when it differs, branch, uncommitted files, ahead/behind or ✓ synced,
  age of the upstream's last commit, the origin remote, and the open PR's review state.
• Line 4, companion (optional, off by default): a squirrel, fox, or turtle that
  comments on your work with hand-written lines. Pick one with /animal.
• No network, no API keys, no model calls, no dependencies. node and a few local
  git reads.

New Since the Pre-Release Builds

• Companions notice what's going on. Souls gained nine state sections: dirty,
  ahead, behind, context, limits, synced, branch, norepo, and night.
  Lines can carry live values: {dirty}, {ahead}, {behind}, {ctx}, {limit},
  {branch}, and {dirty:file} for "1 file" / "3 files". While you're busy, two lines
  in three speak to the state and the third is idle chatter, so the character still
  shows. Old souls with only work and ambient keep working.
• Eight times the lines. Each shipped soul went from 8 lines to 66–68.
• node statusline.js --version prints the installed version.

Fixed

• Cache files piled up in ~/.claude. Each session's git snapshot cache stayed
  forever, and on Windows a failed atomic write left its temp file behind (one machine
  had 88 caches and 322 temp files). A failed write now removes its temp file, and a
  session's first render sweeps statusline-git.* caches idle for a day and temp files
  older than a minute. It touches no other file.
• Cancelled renders hung forever. Claude Code orphans a superseded render without
  closing its stdin; the process now exits on its own after 8 seconds.
• Every render ran git 4–5 times. The git snapshot is cached per session for 3
  seconds, and the recommended refreshInterval is 10.

Upgrading From a Pre-1.0 Checkout

• Copy statusline.js, souls/, and commands/animal.md into ~/.claude/ again.
• An experimental live companion mode existed before 1.0 and is gone. If your
  ~/.claude/statusline-soul.json still names it, the companion reads as off; run
  /animal to pick again.
• If ~/.claude/settings.json has a UserPromptSubmit hook running
  statusline.js --hook, delete that entry. It does nothing now.
