VS Code extension (attached .vsix v0.1.8)

  • Status bar now resolves to this window's Claude session (scoped to the workspace folder), instead of whichever session ran most recently anywhere.
  • Context fill is computed from the transcript's token count divided by the real context window — correct for both 200k and 1M-context sessions.
  • New expanded status panel (click the status bar) with live context, ContextQ, Eff, warnings, compactions, duration, agents, and 5h/7d limits.
  • Honest states for no-folder / warming-up; brighter grey for secondary info; the obscure "Regime" indicator removed.
  • Install: code --install-extension token-optimizer-statusline-0.1.8.vsix (works in Cursor and Windsurf too).

Efficiency metric

  • A brand-new session no longer scores low for not having made decisions yet — decision density stays neutral until there's enough conversation to judge. Established low-density sessions are still scored normally.

Dashboard daemon

  • Self-heals a stale tombstone instead of staying dead until re-setup, so the bookmarkable localhost dashboard keeps working across updates.
  • Regenerates the dashboard in the background when opened stale, so it reflects recent activity.

Terminal status line

  • Shows your 5-hour and 7-day usage limits with reset times; brighter grey; Regime removed.
