CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to Claude HUD will be documented in this file.

[Unreleased]

Added

• display.showDailyCost option to show today's cumulative spend across sessions (Today $12.34), accumulated from the native stdin cost.total_cost_usd into a per-day ledger that resets at local midnight (#695).

Fixed

• Refresh the prompt-cache clock when a request starts rather than when its response arrives, ignoring client-side slash command records, interrupt markers, and subagent requests (#719).
• Treat Agent tool_result payloads with isAsync or status: async_launched as background so the agents line stays up until the task-notification (#734).
• Pass --no-optional-locks on git diff --numstat so a timed-out statusline poll cannot leave .git/index.lock behind (#726).
• Render the prompt-cache clock as until <time> so the value reads as expiry, not write time (#727).

Docs

• Add the ten missing config options and the absolute-path caveat for display.externalUsagePath to README.zh.md (#730).

[0.8.0] - 2026-08-18

Added

• Load optional per-config-directory overrides from $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/claude-hud.json while preserving shared plugin settings (#714).
• display.effortFormat option (full | symbol | text) to render the effort indicator as symbol only or level text only; full keeps the current output (#691).

Security

• Bound config file size and nesting, reject symlinked or prototype-sensitive config input, and sanitize terminal-bound config labels (#714).

[0.7.2] - 2026-08-17

Fixed

• Anchor prompt-cache expiry to the main-session request, ignore subagent cache writes, and detect 5-minute or 1-hour cache tiers while preserving the configured fallback (#702).

Security

• Bound transcript request identifiers before grouping prompt-cache writes (#702).

Dependencies

• Update the development-only @types/node package from 26.1.2 to 26.2.0 (#711).

[0.7.1] - 2026-08-11

Fixed

• Remove completed agents on the next HUD refresh after one minute and keep completed history from displacing running agents (#704).

Security

• Sanitize, validate, and bound agent labels before terminal output (#704).

[0.7.0] - 2026-08-07

Added

• Read bounded model-scoped usage windows from an optional external snapshot while preserving explicit empty stdin snapshots (#690).
• Configure wall-clock hour cycles and optional seconds without changing the locale-driven default (#692).
• Right-align an ordered suffix of merged expanded rows with display.rightAlign (#693).
• Price Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5, and Fable 5 in local cost estimates, including Sonnet's time-limited introductory rate (#694).
• Detect the official MiniMax Anthropic-compatible endpoints and estimate MiniMax M2.7 token/cache cost without guessing MiniMax M3's request-tier pricing (#696).
• Surface bounded MCP server failures when MCP activity or config counts are enabled, clearing a failure after a later successful result (#699).
• Cache derived opt-in authentication labels against the source profile identity (#700).

Fixed

• Prevent short-lived Windows statusline processes from orphaning their owned Git process trees, with bounded output, timeouts, and non-interactive read-only Git behavior (#703).
• Silence /dev/tty probe failures during setup command execution (#686).
• Treat Unicode variation selectors as zero-width in terminal-cell calculations (#687).
• Count completed and progressive assistant token records after zero-value transcript placeholders (#698).
• Preserve configured element order in right-aligned rows and cap hostile terminal/config widths (#693).

Security

• Sanitize, bound, cache-version, and opt-in MCP error names before terminal rendering (#699).
• Validate and version derived-auth cache entries, reject symlink/oversized reads, use private permissions, and write through unique exclusive temporary files (#700).

Dependencies

• Update the development-only @types/node package from 26.1.1 to 26.1.2 (#697).

[0.6.0] - 2026-07-20

Added

• Support pathLevels: "full" to show the entire absolute working directory in the project badge, instead of being capped at the last 3 segments (#678).
• Allow users to reorder visible first-line segments with projectLineOrder while preserving the existing default output (#680).

Fixed

• Show each agent's resolved runtime model when the launch input omits a model alias, while preserving unknown and provider-qualified model identifiers (#679).

Security

• Keep full working-directory paths terminal-safe across compact, expanded, and reordered layouts by stripping control and bidirectional characters before rendering (#678, #680).

[0.5.1] - 2026-07-17

Fixed

• Align context, usage, and opt-in memory progress bars by terminal cell width in CJK locales, including merged and narrow layouts (#673).

[0.5.0] - 2026-07-16

Added

• Render bounded model-scoped weekly usage windows from Claude Code statusline input in expanded and compact layouts, including remaining-value, reset-time, threshold, and custom-color modes (#669).

Security

• Sanitize and bound model-scoped usage labels and values before terminal rendering, and keep scoped-only input from overwriting shared external usage snapshots (#669).
• Clean compiled output before every build and enforce source-to-artifact parity so removed modules cannot remain in release packages (#670).

[0.4.2] - 2026-07-15

Fixed

• Show a useful git ref for detached HEAD sessions by preferring exact tags and falling back to a linked short commit label (#664).
• Preserve slash-separated branch names in GitHub branch links so clicking the HUD branch opens the expected remote branch (#664).
• Allow opt-in --extra-cmd hooks to use the last non-empty line of sanitized plain-text output in addition to JSON labels (#664).
• Strip control and bidirectional characters from Git refs in compact rendering (#664).

[0.4.1] - 2026-07-14

Fixed

• Restore the default 80% weekly-usage threshold when the setting is omitted or invalid, preventing the weekly segment from appearing at 0% while preserving the existing usage and environment defaults (#662).

[0.4.0] - 2026-07-13

Added

• Add opt-in routed-provider cost display for Bedrock and Vertex sessions, with explicit native-versus-estimated labeling (#648).
• Add opt-in authentication method and account display with terminal-safe truncation and active API-key precedence (#652).
• Add Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant / zh-TW) across configuration, onboarding, and rendered labels (#645).
• Add opt-in transcript and automatic model-source modes for proxy users, with bounded terminal-safe model labels (#643).

Changed

• Show ultracode sessions as ultracode(xhigh) from transcript attachment and /effort signals (#640).
• Move locale-specific time layout into named interpolation patterns so translations control word order and spacing (#647).
• Keep effort suffixes attached to model names and enforce opt-in render guards consistently (#650).

Fixed

• Deduplicate repeated assistant usage by bounded message IDs while preserving the idless transcript fallback (#646).
• Show cache creation and cache read tokens in compact session-token summaries (#653).
• Count symlinked rule files and directories with cycle-safe, bounded traversal and cache invalidation (#644).
• Handle non-ASCII checkout paths correctly in direct-entrypoint tests (#655).

Removed

• Drop the ps-based parent-process --effort fallback (#471); the effort label now comes solely from Claude Code's stdin, which carries the level directly.

Dependencies

• Bump @types/node from 25.9.3 to 26.1.1 (#657).
• Bump TypeScript from 6.0.3 to 7.0.2 (#656).

[0.3.0] - 2026-06-19

Added

• Add display.showProvider and display.providerName so custom proxy users can optionally show provider labels before the model name in compact and expanded layouts (#629).

Changed

• Extract shared model badge formatting so compact and expanded layouts keep provider labels and effort suffixes consistent (#629).

Fixed

• Harden and document external usage snapshot read paths as absolute-only, with focused regression coverage for relative-path rejection (#637).
• Add regression coverage for private speed-cache directory and cache file permissions introduced by the cache hardening work (#637).

[0.2.1] - 2026-06-18

Fixed

• Require explicit CLAUDE_HUD_ALLOW_EXTRA_CMD opt-in before running --extra-cmd, and document the local command trust boundary (#619).
• Merge missing seven-day usage from a configured external snapshot when stdin only supplies the five-hour usage window (#617).
• Correct Opus 4.5+ local cost estimates to the current standard Anthropic rate while keeping older Opus 4.0/4.1 pricing unchanged (#625).

[0.2.0] - 2026-06-15

Added

• Add opt-in session compaction count display from reliable transcript compact_boundary entries (#609).
• Add CLAUDE_HUD_DISABLE as a per-session environment kill switch that exits before stdin, transcript, config, or git work (#610).

Changed

• Sync /claude-hud:configure documentation with current display options, including compaction count, Skills, MCP, prompt cache, memory, cost, and reset-label controls (#613).

Dependencies

• Bump @types/node from 25.9.2 to 25.9.3 (#614).

[0.1.1] - 2026-06-09

Added

• Add default-off Skills and MCP activity lines, with sanitized active names and Skill-tool suppression when the Skills line is enabled (#527, #595).
• Add optional advisor model display with sanitized transcript-derived and override labels (#573).
• Add display.autoCompactWindow support for context denominator calculations, including token-display denominator handling (#589).

Fixed

• Render external balance_label values alongside stdin rate_limits instead of treating them as mutually exclusive (#598, #599).
• Preserve inherited terminal width in setup-generated statusline commands before probing /dev/tty, fixing narrow-pane wrapping/flicker in terminals without a controlling TTY (#581).
• Use a lightweight Windows Node launcher for PowerShell/cmd setup instead of a PowerShell wrapper on every statusline refresh, reducing Windows render-time overhead while preserving update discovery (#555).
• Collapse whitespace in multiline Bash tool targets before truncation so the tools line stays single-line (#594).
• Harden advisor, Skills, and MCP labels against control characters, terminal escapes, bidi controls, and oversized activity names (#573, #595).
• Validate autoCompactWindow as an integer before using it in context calculations (#589).

Changed

• Clarify in release docs that .claude-plugin/plugin.json is the Claude Code update/cache version source (#591).

Dependencies

• Bump @types/node from 25.9.1 to 25.9.2 (#593).
• Refresh the lockfile to clear the transitive brace-expansion audit advisory.

[0.1.0] - 2026-06-03

Added

• Effort-level display in the model bracket (#471).
• Native stdin cost.total_cost_usd support, external usage snapshot fallback, prompt-cache countdown, and optional JSON snapshots for stdin rate_limits (#381, #477, #478, #570).
• Vertex AI provider detection with cost estimation disabled for Vertex sessions (#479).
• Usage display controls for reset labels, absolute/relative reset times, compact display, remaining mode, elapsed/percentage mode, and third-party balance labels (#415, #421, #433, #536, #541, #572).
• Layout and configuration controls for expanded merge groups, wrapped branch display, terminal width fallbacks, /add-dir workspace directories, progress bar colors, tool name wrapping/truncation, and custom line placement (#474, #476, #501, #502, #505, #571, #575).
• Session start date, last response timestamp, and Skill tool target display (#497, #537).

Changed

• Setup is more defensive around marketplace install paths, Windows runtime guidance, Git Bash/MSYS routing, existing statusline backups, and PowerShell wrapper generation (#399, #473, #532, #538, #546, #567).
• Rendering now handles narrow terminals, unknown terminal widths, CJK ambiguous-width glyphs, branch links, progress-label padding, OSC 8 hyperlinks, and tool wrapping more consistently (#427, #439, #443, #489, #509, #518, #561, #571).
• Chinese documentation was added and later synced with the English README (#435, #557).

Fixed

• Bounded stdin reads to prevent statusline hangs (#378).
• Context and cache behavior for initial zero-percent frames, post-compact resets, live zero-percent usage, nonzero token totals with zero usage, and fallback todo rendering (#430, #460, #492, #508, #579).
• Transcript and task state handling for default subagent labels, duplicate-content TodoWrite task IDs, background-agent timing, stale transcript agent caches, and adjacent session usage deduplication (#455, #456, #515, #560, #579).
• Git and render correctness for renamed files, quoted arrow filenames, Unicode paths, line diffs, and OSC link truncation (#451, #543, #561).
• Platform-specific behavior for Bedrock provider labels, Linux memory parsing, Windows console flashes, unsafe progress-bar code points, and PowerShell setup output (#468, #523, #567).
• Speed and cost display edge cases, including native cost fallback, speed cache scoping, short-window accumulation, Claude Haiku 4.x pricing, enterprise aliases, and effort schema changes (#440, #453, #486, #491, #496).
• Windows + PowerShell /claude-hud:setup now writes a statusline.ps1 wrapper with a guarded width fallback and corrected version-directory glob (#521).

Dependencies

• Bumped TypeScript and @types/node development dependencies across the 0.1.0 cycle (#383, #426, #465, #533, #554, #565).

[0.0.12] - 2026-04-04

Added

• Chinese (zh) HUD labels as an explicit opt-in, while keeping English as the default.
• Guided language selection in /claude-hud:configure so users can choose English or Chinese without hand-editing JSON.
• Offline estimated session cost display via display.showCost for known Anthropic model families, derived from local transcript token usage only.
• Session token totals, output-style display, git push count threshold coloring, configurable model badge formatting, and a custom model override.
• Git file diff rendering with per-file and total line deltas, plus clickable OSC 8 file links where supported.

Changed

• Usage display now relies only on Claude Code's official stdin rate_limits fields. Background OAuth usage polling, related cache/lock behavior, and credential-derived subscriber plan labels were removed.
• Setup and configure flows now better support simple onboarding: Windows setup prefers Node.js guidance, the GitHub star prompt includes gh compatibility guidance, and configure now exposes language as a first-class guided choice.
• Plugin detection, config caching, and transcript-derived activity/session metadata are more robust and better covered by tests.

Fixed

• Stabilize Claude Code version cache behavior across resolved binary paths and mtimes, fixing Node 20 CI failures.
• Stop guessing auth mode from environment variables alone.
• Preserve task IDs across TodoWrite, detect transcript agents recorded as Agent, and improve narrow-terminal wrapping including OSC hyperlink width handling.
• Improve macOS memory reporting, config cache invalidation, and fallback rendering when terminal width is unavailable.
• Clarify official usage-data behavior and keep Bedrock/unknown pricing cases hidden rather than showing misleading estimates.

[0.0.10] - 2026-03-23

Added

• Configurable HUD color overrides, including named presets, 256-color indices, and hex values.
• display.customLine support for a short custom phrase in the HUD.
• New opt-in display toggles for session name, combined context mode (display.contextValue: "both"), Claude Code version, and approximate system RAM usage in expanded layout.

Changed

• Setup and plugin detection now better handle CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, Windows shell quoting, and Bun --env-file installs without inheriting project environment files.
• Usage display now prefers Claude Code stdin rate_limits data when available, still falls back to the existing OAuth/cache path, and presents weekly-only/free-user usage more cleanly.
• Context percentages and token displays now follow Claude Code's reported context window size, including newer 1M-context sessions, with a lower fallback autocompact estimate that better matches /context.
• Usage text output now keeps the last successful values visible while syncing, shows the 7-day reset countdown when applicable, and clarifies that standard proxy environment variables are the supported way to route Anthropic traffic.
• Progress bars and expanded-layout output now adapt more cleanly to narrow terminal widths.

Fixed

• Setup is more reliable in sessions that previously failed to surface the HUD until Claude Code restarted, and plugin command discovery no longer fails with unknown-skill errors after install.
• Usage handling is more resilient under OAuth token refreshes, proxy tunnels, explicit TLS overrides, zero-byte lock files, stale-cache recovery, and rate-limit edge cases that previously caused repeated 429 or syncing failures.
• Account-scoped credential lookup and plugin selection are more reliable for multi-account setups and multiple installed plugin versions.
• Expanded-layout rendering now preserves speed, duration, extra labels, and weekly-only usage output correctly.
• Tool execution no longer scrolls the terminal to the top, and transcript reparsing now avoids repeatedly caching partial parse results on large histories.

  • Respect HTTPS_PROXY/ALL_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY with NO_PROXY bypass.
  • Preserve usage and plan display when keychain tokens refresh without subscriptionType metadata.
  • Reduce false timeout/403 usage warnings in proxied and high-latency environments (#146, #161, #162).
• Render output now preserves regular spaces instead of non-breaking spaces to avoid vertical statusline rendering issues on startup (#142).

---

[0.0.8] - 2026-03-03

Added

• Session name display in the statusline (#155).
• display.contextValue: "remaining" mode to show remaining context percent (#157).

• Prevent HUD rows from disappearing in narrow terminals (#159).
• Handle object-based legacy layout values safely during config migration (#144).
• Prevent double-counting user vs project CLAUDE.md when cwd is home (#141).

  • Automatic fallback to manual calculation for older versions
  • Handles edge cases: NaN, negative values, values >100
• display.autocompactBuffer config option ('enabled' | 'disabled', default: 'enabled')
  • 'enabled': Shows buffered % (matches /context when autocompact ON) - default
  • 'disabled': Shows raw % (matches /context when autocompact OFF)
