claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Status line shows 0.0k tokens and ctx% disappears after /compact

Description

After running /compact, the status line immediately displays incorrect data:

• Token count resets to 0.0k
• ctx:% disappears entirely

The correct values only restore after sending the next regular message.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Claude Code normally until context has meaningful usage (e.g. ctx:30%+)
2. Run /compact
3. Observe the status line immediately after compact completes

Expected Behavior

Status line should continue showing the correct context usage after /compact (matching what /context reports).

Actual Behavior

Status line shows:

<path>  <model>  0.0k  5h:XX%  7d:XX%
branch main · clean

• Token count is 0.0k (should be ~30k+)
• ctx:% is missing entirely

Running /context at this moment shows correct data (e.g. 32.8k / 200k (16%)), confirming the compact completed successfully and CC's internal state is accurate.

Root Cause Analysis

The status line reads context_window data from the most recent API response. After /compact, the most recent API call is the summarization request — a special call whose context_window fields (total_input_tokens, total_output_tokens, used_percentage) are either zeroed or null.

CC's internal context state is correct (visible via /context), but the status line only updates when a new regular chat completion response arrives.

Suggested Fix

After /compact completes, emit a status line update with the accurate post-compact context stats (sourced from CC's internal state rather than the compact API call's response headers).

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Claude Code: latest
• Status line type: custom command
