Show statusline or session context during permission prompts

Problem

When a permission prompt appears (tool approval dialog), the statusline is hidden. This is the exact moment where session context is most valuable — you're deciding whether to approve an action, perhaps even after context-switching between tabs or stepping away.

The permission prompt can be tall (multi-line bash commands, file paths, etc.), and scrolling up may not surface relevant context about what the session is doing. The only footer is Esc to cancel · Tab to amend · ctrl+e to explain — functional, but provides very little orientation about the current task.

Why this matters

• Multi-session workflows: Users running multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel lose their "where am I?" anchor when a permission prompt fires
• Context switching: After switching tabs or returning from another task, a large permission prompt provides very little orientation about the session's purpose
• Decision quality: Approving/denying a tool call is a judgment call that benefits from knowing what task the agent is pursuing

Suggestion

Show the statusline (or a condensed version of it) during permission prompts. Alternatively, a keyboard shortcut to briefly display the statusline while in the permission prompt would help — similar to how ctrl+e toggles an explanation of the tool call.

If full statusline rendering during the permission UI is complex, even a minimal context line (e.g., the current working directory or a user-defined session label) above the prompt body would help.

Environment

• Terminal: Ghostty (custom statusline command configured)
• Workflow: 3-6 simultaneous Claude Code sessions
• Permission mode: default (not auto-approve)
