Can you provide more details about what you mean by "current context status"?
Also, which version of the app are you using?

Oh, you're using the CLI not the app. You filed this bug with the app bug template. Please use the correct bug report template in the future to avoid confusion.
I'm still not 100% sure what you mean by "current context status". I'm guessing that you mean that the context window usage is no longer appearing by default in the status line at the bottom of the TUI display. That was removed as a default option a few versions ago based on user feedback. You can enable it using the
/statuslineconfiguration.Ohhh....thanks sir. It helped. I didn't know about this.
