What's Wrong?

When a notification banner (e.g. "Claude Code has switched from npm to native installer...") is displayed, custom status line content wraps character-by-character vertically instead of being truncated.

The notification banner and status line share the same row. The banner takes most of the row width (extending off-screen), while the status line gets rendered in a narrow remaining column. The status line text then wraps within that column.

Breakpoint at 80 columns:

• At 79 columns or fewer, the banner and status line render on separate rows — correct behavior
• At 80+ columns, they share a row and the status line wraps vertically

The built-in status line handles this gracefully. Custom status line output that is longer triggers the wrapping.

What Should Happen?

The status line content should be truncated from the right (with an ellipsis) to fit the available space when a notification banner is present, rather than wrapping character-by-character. This matches how the built-in status line behaves.

Related: #5430 (request to pass available width to status line scripts, closed as not planned) — if width were passed, scripts could self-truncate.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure a custom status line in ~/.claude/settings.json:

``json
{
"statusLine": {
"type": "command",
"command": "echo 'Opus 4.6 | 62.0K tok | 76% ctx left | 5-hour: 33% | 7-day: 91%'"
}
}
``

1. Have a notification banner active (e.g. the "switched from npm to native installer" banner)
2. Launch Claude Code with terminal width >= 80 columns
3. Observe the status line wrapping vertically
