Show active permissions in the TUI status line #21665

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI / TUI

What feature would you like to see?

I’d like /statusline to support an item that shows the currently active permissions profile.

Right now, when I forget which permission mode I’m in, I usually need to run /permissions or /status to check whether I’m in something like Read only, Full, auto-review, etc. It would be useful to keep that visible in the status line, especially when switching between safer and more permissive modes during a session.

Possible shape:

  • Add a configurable status line item, likely named permissions.
  • Display text could match or closely follow the permissions summary already shown in /status.
    • Examples: Read only, Full, Workspace (on-request), Workspace (auto-review), or user-defined profile labels.
  • The item could use the status line’s color styling rather than rendering as plain/dim text.

Additional information

I checked for similar issues/PRs and didn’t find an existing request for showing permissions in the status line.

Also, as a side note: I’m enjoying the newer colored status line styling. The colors look neat and make the status line easier to scan.
