Allow Codex CLI status line to wrap instead of truncating

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

Allow the Codex CLI TUI status line (/statusline) to wrap onto multiple terminal rows instead of truncating with an
ellipsis when it exceeds the terminal width.

Current behavior:
Long status lines are cut off, so useful session metadata can disappear on narrower terminals.

Expected behavior:
The footer should reserve enough height for the status line and render it as wrapped text, preserving styling and
avoiding overlap with right-side footer indicators.

Additional information

Custom status lines often include model, reasoning level, cwd/git branch, sandbox/approval state, context usage, or other
session metadata. On narrower terminals, truncation hides exactly the information the status line is meant to keep
visible.

I searched for existing issues with "statusline wrap", "status line truncate", and "footer statusline wrap", but only
found related issues/discussions that do not cover this specific TUI behavior.
