Code Example

brewed for 1m 47s · finished 14:32 (12 min ago)
RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Problem

The turn footer shows how long a turn took (e.g. "brewed for 1m 47s") but not when it finished. After stepping away — waiting between PR review rounds, CI runs, scheduled jobs, etc. — there's no way to tell whether the last turn ended 2 minutes ago or 2 hours ago without re-running something or checking another clock.

A custom status line can show the current time, but that doesn't help: by the time I'm looking, I want to know when the previous turn ended, not what time it is now.

Request

Add a wall-clock timestamp to the completed turn footer alongside the duration. For example:

brewed for 1m 47s · finished 14:32 (12 min ago)

Either an absolute time, a relative "X ago", or both would solve this.

Use case

Waiting between async events — PR review rounds, long CI builds, scheduled agents — where I come back to the terminal and want to gauge how stale the last response is before deciding whether to poke it again.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add a wall-clock timestamp to the completed turn footer to display when the turn finished.

Guidance

  • Modify the turn footer to include the finish time, either as an absolute timestamp or a relative "X ago" format.
  • Consider using a format like "finished 14:32 (12 min ago)" to provide both absolute and relative time information.
  • Update the display logic to calculate and show the time elapsed since the turn finished.
  • Ensure the timestamp is updated in real-time to reflect the correct finish time of each turn.

Example

// Pseudocode example, actual implementation may vary
turnFooter = `brewed for ${duration} · finished ${finishTime} (${timeAgo})`

Notes

The exact implementation details may depend on the underlying technology stack and frameworks used. This guidance assumes a text-based interface where the turn footer can be modified to include the desired timestamp information.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the turn footer to include the finish timestamp, as this provides the necessary information to gauge the staleness of the last response.
