What issue are you seeing?
While composing a prompt in Codex CLI TUI, the status line is visible when idle, but disappears during typing which, I believe, is unintended behavior. This makes it hard to monitor session state (e.g. model/mode/context/status) while editing input.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Launch Codex CLI in TUI mode.
- Confirm status line is visible in idle state.
- Start typing a prompt (single-line or multi-line) in the input area.
- Observe that the status line disappears while typing.
- Submit the prompt or stop editing; status line may reappear.
What is the expected behavior?
The status line should remain visible while typing, or there should be a config option to keep it pinned/always visible during input.
