Bug Description
Title: Context usage indicator shows 0% while /context command shows actual usage (33%)
Description:
The context usage indicator in the main interface shows 0% at the start of a session, while the /context command correctly displays the
actual usage.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new Claude Code session with a project containing CLAUDE.md
- Observe the context indicator in the UI (shows 0% or very low)
- Run /context command
- See actual usage: 33% (66k/200k tokens)
Expected behavior:
Context indicator should reflect actual token usage including system prompt, tools, and memory files.
Environment:
- Platform: Windows
- Claude Code model: claude-opus-4-5-20251101
- Terminal: VS Community PowerShell
Environment Info
- Platform: win32
- Terminal: visualstudio
- Version: 2.0.60
