claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Expose current permission mode in statusline JSON [1 participants]

TL;DR

Add a permission_mode field to the JSON payload received by the statusline script to display the current permission mode.

Guidance

• Review the documentation at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline.md to understand the current JSON payload structure and potential limitations.
• Investigate how the statusline script re-renders on permission-mode changes to determine the best approach for adding the permission_mode field.
• Consider the trade-offs between reading defaultMode from ~/.claude/settings.json (which may not reflect runtime toggles) and implementing a new solution that accounts for live permission mode changes.
• Evaluate the feasibility of modifying the statusline script to include the current permission mode in the JSON payload, potentially by tapping into the internal signal that triggers re-renders on permission-mode changes.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The proposed solution relies on modifying the statusline script or the JSON payload it receives, which may require changes to the underlying code or configuration. The workaround of reading defaultMode from ~/.claude/settings.json has limitations, as it does not account for runtime toggles.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the statusline script to include the permission_mode field in the JSON payload, as this addresses the core issue and provides a more accurate representation of the current permission mode.
