TUI: footer duplicates and “Working” status briefly disappears after interrupt + immediate resubmission #9811

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.89.0

What subscription do you have?

plus

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.2

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.17.4-2-pve x86_64 unknown

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

wezterm

What issue are you seeing?

If I interrupt a running turn with Esc and immediately submit a new message, the bottom area of the TUI can briefly look idle. During that window, I sometimes see the footer rendered twice (two different context left percentages on separate lines), and the “Working” status line is missing until the backend catches up.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Start the Codex TUI (e.g. run codex).
  2. Submit any prompt so the agent starts working.
  3. Press Esc to interrupt the current turn.
  4. Immediately submit another message (press Enter to send).
  5. Watch the bottom area right after submission.

What is the expected behavior?

Right after the new submission, the UI should show a clear “Working” (or equivalent) status and should not render duplicate footer lines.
