Bug Description
When configuring the status line with an inline format (shell prompt integration rather than the default), two issues occur:
- One character per line rendering: For approximately 10 seconds after launch, the status line text renders vertically (one character per line) instead of horizontally.
- Missing git branch: The inline status line only shows the current directory — the git branch name is not displayed.
Expected Behavior
- Status line should render horizontally from the start
- Git branch name should be included alongside the current directory
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Shell: zsh
- Claude Code version: latest
