+Codex's native `tui.status_line` contains `model`, `reasoning`, `permissions`, `approval-mode`, `project-name`, `git-branch`, `context-window-size`, `context-used`, and `used-tokens`, in that order. `permissions` reports the active permission profile or sandbox summary, and `approval-mode` reports the active command approval mode. Rendering and colors are controlled by Codex; the adapter does not define custom colors per field.

 `Ctx` is the context-window capacity; `Used` is the reported percentage occupied. `Tokens` adds the session's reported total input and output tokens, not just the current context. Counts use `k` and `M` suffixes. Missing model, effort, context size, or percentage is shown as `-`; missing token totals start at zero. Repository names fall back to the Git root or current directory; unavailable branches show `-`.
 
+Claude Code reruns its status-line command when the permission mode changes, but does not pass that mode in the status-line JSON. Its line therefore does not show a configured default as though it were the active mode.

 ## Verification and installation
 
 The agent chooses the smallest sufficient checks based on behavior, affected callers, risk, reversibility, and uncertainty. Inspection can suffice for a small change. Full builds, broad test suites, and independent reviews are not automatic; explicit user and project requirements remain binding.
 
 Delegation and long-running state use the shared orchestration rule, loaded on demand as a Codex rule or Claude skill. The coordinator owns decisions and routes concise evidence-based handoffs. Review and execution verification have separate responsibilities; see [Agents](agents.md).
