[BUG] Status bar shows different token count than /context command (22k vs 24k)

Bug Description

The status bar displays a different token count and percentage than the /context command output, even though issue #6537 and fix in v2.1.14 were supposed to align these values.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.16
• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
• Node: v20.13.1
• Model: claude-opus-4-5-20251101

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session
2. Have a conversation to build up context
3. Run /context command
4. Compare with status bar display

Expected Behavior

Both /context command and status bar should show the same token count and percentage.

Actual Behavior

• Status bar shows: 24k/200k tokens (12%)
• /context shows: 22k/200k tokens (11%)

Difference is ~2k tokens (~1-2% discrepancy).

Additional Context

• This occurs consistently, not just once
• According to CHANGELOG, v2.1.14 should have fixed /context to show same values as status line
