+# Claude Code statusLine — shows working dir, model, and context-window usage.
+# Wired via .claude/settings.json (statusLine.command). Receives the statusLine
+# JSON on stdin; first stdout line is rendered (ANSI colour supported).
+#
+# Context usage comes straight from the input JSON — no transcript parsing:
+#   .context_window.used_percentage     pre-calculated % of the window in use (input side)
+#   .context_window.context_window_size window size in tokens (1000000 for the 1M models)
+# verified: Claude Code statusLine schema · code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline · 2026-06-17
+#
+# Fails soft: any parse problem prints nothing and exits 0 (never breaks the prompt).
