Codex status line

Codex now uses its built-in TUI footer; no fork or PATH shim is installed. Chezmoi merges this provider-neutral list into ~/.codex/config.toml while preserving project trust, providers, plugins, and other live settings:

[tui]
status_line = [
  "model-with-reasoning",
  "fast-mode",
  "run-state",
  "git-branch",
  "context-remaining",
  "used-tokens",
  "task-progress",
  "current-dir",
]

run-state shows whether the thread is ready or working. used-tokens shows token usage when Codex has usage data; it can be absent before the first turn. In Codex 0.162.1's fullscreen TUI, the footer stays on one line and truncates the right-hand end with … when the terminal is too narrow. It does not wrap; earlier items remain visible first, and widening the terminal restores the rest. This was checked at 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 160 columns without sending a prompt.

Run /status when you need authoritative routing details. In a codex-copilot session it should show the localhost model provider even if the Account line still shows the logged-in ChatGPT account; that account is UI/auth state, not evidence that inference bypassed the proxy.

Why the quota fields are absent

Codex also offers five-hour-limit and weekly-limit, but those counters can still describe the ChatGPT account when a one-shot launcher changes only the model provider. Showing them beside Copilot inference would be ambiguous, so the managed footer sticks to provider-neutral facts. CodexBar remains the complementary menu-bar view for account usage.

Why not a Claude-HUD-style extension?

Stock Codex accepts a fixed list of status item IDs; it does not run an arbitrary status command or support custom ANSI/conditional rendering. The third-party @jiawang1209/codex-hud can emulate Claude HUD only by patching and compiling an older Codex Rust tree and placing a shim ahead of the official binary. That upgrade and supply-chain surface is not worthwhile for a footer, so it is documented but intentionally not installed.

codex_apps is unrelated to the footer and unrelated to Codex.app. It is a remote ChatGPT MCP route at https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/apps; the CLI can use it on Intel or Apple Silicon. copilot-proxy doctor --live probes that route directly and through the detected HTTP proxy, separately from localhost Copilot inference.
