Version line

v2 — Go rewrite (1.x), main-v2 (active development)

What problem does this solve?

When working with multiple repositories, it can be difficult to identify the currently active workspace at a glance, especially when different projects share the same directory name.

The status bar already displays model and usage statistics, but it does not provide project-specific context such as the active project path or Git branch. This increases the risk of working in the wrong repository or branch.

Additionally, session cost is currently displayed only in CNY (¥), which may be less intuitive for users outside China. Same for the cost display in the Overview.

Proposed solution

Extend the status bar area to display additional workspace information:

  • Active project path (or sandbox path)
  • Active Git branch
  • Localized cost display based on user locale or preferred currency (or show both local currency and CNY)
  • Same for the cost display in the Overview

This would make it easier to identify the current workspace, reduce mistakes when switching between repositories, and improve cost transparency for international users.

Screenshots/mockups attached below show a possible layout.
