[BUG] StatusLine intermittently renders '…' on 2.1.52 (Windows)

Summary

After updating to Claude Code 2.1.52, the custom statusLine intermittently shows … instead of the full output. The same session alternates between correct rendering and … without any config or terminal changes. This was working consistently on 2.1.51.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 Pro (native, not WSL)
• Claude Code version: 2.1.52
• Previous version: 2.1.51 (no issues)
• Terminal: Windows Terminal / Git Bash
• statusLine plugin: claude-hud 0.0.7

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure a custom statusLine command (e.g., claude-hud with expanded layout)
2. Use Claude Code 2.1.52 on Windows
3. Observe the statusLine — it alternates between full output and …

Expected Behavior

StatusLine renders consistently every cycle:

[Opus 4.6 | Max] │ RENAISSANCE_VPS git:(main*)
Context ██████░░░░ 58% │ Usage █░░░░░░░░░ 7% (4h 31m / 5h) | ████░░░░░░ 38% (98h 31m / 7d)

Actual Behavior

Intermittently renders as:

[Opus 4.6 | Max] │ RENAISSANCE_VPS git:(main*)
  …

Both states occur within the same session, same config, same terminal width.

Diagnosis

• The statusLine command itself executes correctly every time when run manually (~100ms, valid output)
• No API timeouts — usage cache is valid
• Not a terminal width issue — the same output fits when it does render
• Worked consistently on 2.1.51 earlier today
• 2.1.52 was released 2026-02-24 06:00 UTC; issue appeared immediately after auto-update
