What issue are you seeing?
After recent upgrades to the Codex app, the context window usage bar no longer appears. Previously, it was displayed at the bottom of the user input area near the model info, but I haven’t been able to see it for the past couple of days, possibly even a week.
I updated (simplified) tui.statusline config in config.toml file, but it didn't help.
I can see the context window percentage in Codex CLI.

The context window usage bar should be visible, as it was previously.
