What happened?

The cli window footer seems not displaying sandbox mode properly on MacOS. I have set

export GEMINI_SANDBOX=sandbox-exec
export SEATBELT_PROFILE="strict-open"

After cli started,

gemini --sandbox

the sandbox mode indicator in footer is displayed like this,

<img width="1307" height="339" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8c22621c-8dbf-4fde-b6f8-29c49a170004" />

I do not know what "current process" means. Previously it displays "MacOS seatbelt (strict-open)" clearly. With this display I do not know if the profile was actually applied or not.

What did you expect to happen?

Should display seatbelt profile currently applied, like "MacOS seatbelt (strict-open)".

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.
