Bug Description
The MCP server status label in the bottom bar gets truncated incorrectly. It initially displays correctly as "MCP server" but then gets truncated to "CP server" or occasionally just "P" without any window resize occurring. I am using Ghostty 1.3.0-main+ef1929045
Expected Behavior
The label should either:
- Display the full text "MCP server" consistently
- Truncate intelligently (e.g., show "MCP" or hide entirely if space is limited)
Actual Behavior
- Initially shows "MCP server" correctly
- Gets truncated to "CP server" (missing the 'M')
- Occasionally shows just "P"
- This happens without any window resize
Environment
- Terminal: Ghostty
- OS: macOS
