feat(claude): a context-window readout for sessions you are not watching - #16
Merged
Conversation
macarchy-core's Claude Code status line writes each session's context percentage to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/macarchy-claude/<session id>` as it renders. This module reads those back every five seconds and puts the fullest one on the bar: green under 60 %, orange, red at 85 % where a compaction is close. The point is the sessions off-screen. Running a fleet of agents, the terminal in front of you says nothing about the three working in branches you cannot see — so the pill carries a badge with how many are alive, and the percentage is the worst of them, not the nearest. Files from sessions that have exited are swept on the same pass, and tmpfs clears whatever is left at logout. With no status line running the pill is a plain icon, so it costs nothing to leave in a layout.

Test
pytest tests/test_module_claude.py— five cases: percentage and tint tracking the fullest session, a fleet badge, the stale sweep taking the button quiet, unreadable files ignored rather than fatal, and noXDG_RUNTIME_DIRmeaning no reading.Note:
tests/test_widgets.py::test_button_with_icon_and_text_honours_tintfails onorigin/mainas well — pre-existing, untouched here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
