Tokens usage breakdown

What variant of Codex are you using?
cli
What feature would you like to see?
Add context token composition breakdown to /status (and optional statusline segment): show absolute tokens and percentage by source, including:
- system prompt total
- AGENTS.md (root/global/project) total
- MCP total, with per-tool breakdown
- tool calls total, with per-kind breakdown
Even a first version with just system prompt, AGENTS.md, and total MCP would already be very useful
Why:
- Makes context pressure explainable instead of opaque.
- Helps identify instruction/tool bloat early.
- Makes it easier to decide when to compact, split sessions, or disable heavy MCP/tool surfaces.
