Description
The session name displayed in the bottom statusline no longer renders as a highlighted chip with a background color. It shows as plain, unstyled text against the terminal background, making it unreadable depending on the terminal color scheme.
Steps to reproduce
- Open macOS Terminal.app
- Start a new Claude Code session
- Run
/rename <name>or observe the default session name - Look at the bottom-right of the statusline
Expected behavior
The session name renders as a colored chip with a background color (previously teal/cyan) and contrasting text.
Actual behavior
The session name renders as plain text with no background color, against whatever the terminal background is.
Additional notes
- Changing the theme via
/configapplies colors to other UI elements but does not restore the chip background on the session name label. - The issue is present in fresh sessions, not just renamed ones.
- Previously worked correctly; regression appeared around v2.1.280.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.282
- OS: macOS
- Terminal: macOS Terminal.app
- Theme setting:
light-daltonized
