fix(statusline): reserve a fixed 5 columns instead of 20% of width#2871
Merged
Conversation
The Claude Code statusline runs as a piped subprocess, so width comes from the parent-TTY walk in detect_parent_tty_width(). Reserving 20% of that width for Claude Code's UI messages scales badly: a 200-column terminal gave up 40 columns. Reserve a fixed 5 columns instead, so wide terminals keep nearly all their width; saturating_sub guards terminals under 5 columns. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Worktrunk's plugins depend on agent CLI surfaces (statusline JSON, worktree-lifecycle hooks, plugin install mechanisms) that change without notice. Add a weekly tend task to scan the Claude Code / Codex / Gemini / OpenCode changelogs and file an issue when a relevant change lands.

codecov/patch flagged cols.saturating_sub(5) in detect_parent_tty_width() as uncovered: it sits behind the parent-TTY walk, which never finds a TTY in headless CI. Extract the stty-size parsing into a pure statusline_width_from_stty_size() and unit-test it, the same testability split statusline_width_fallback() already uses.

…2871) The Claude Code statusline runs `wt list statusline` as a subprocess with all three standard streams piped, so `terminal_width()` can't detect the terminal directly and `detect_parent_tty_width()` walks the process tree to find a TTY. That fallback reserved 20% of the detected width for Claude Code's own UI messages, which scales badly: on a 200-column terminal it gave up 40 columns, far more than the chrome needs. This reserves a fixed 5 columns instead, so wide terminals keep nearly all their width and narrow ones still get a sensible margin (`saturating_sub` guards against terminals under 5 columns). Also adds a weekly tend maintenance task that scans the agent CLIs Worktrunk integrates with (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode) for changes to the surfaces Worktrunk depends on — the statusline JSON schema, worktree-lifecycle hooks, and plugin install mechanisms — and files an issue when something relevant changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
