Problem Statement

## Summary
A collection of UI improvement requests for Claude Code's terminal interface.

Proposed Solution

## Requested Changes

### 1. StatusLine Positioning

  • Add a position option ("top" | "bottom") to the statusLine config
  • Currently hardcoded to bottom; top placement is more visible during long outputs

### 2. Collapsible Tool Output

  • Allow tool call results (file reads, bash output) to be collapsed/expanded
  • Reduces noise for long outputs

### 3. Timestamps on Messages

  • Show timestamps on user/assistant messages
  • Helpful for tracking long sessions

### 4. Syntax Highlighting in Code Blocks

  • Improve or add color syntax highlighting for code shown in responses

### 5. StatusLine Styling

  • Support ANSI colors or bold/dim in statusLine output natively
  • Currently limited to plain text appearance

## Why
These are small but impactful improvements to daily usability, especially for
long or complex sessions where context and readability matter.

---
It would be better if the ui is like powerlevel 10k type.
