README

status-sweeper

pi renders a line at the bottom of the screen whenever any extension pushes a status via ctx.ui.setStatus(key, text) (for example, ponytail's 🐴 badge). This clears every such key, whichever extension set it, so that line never shows — without touching pi's own footer (model, tokens, git branch).

How it reaches every key: the only public handle to the live status map is the footerData passed to a setFooter() factory. The extension registers a throwaway footer to capture that provider, immediately restores the built-in footer, then deletes each key via the documented setStatus(key, undefined). Sweeps run deferred after session_start / agent_start / agent_end (so it lands after whatever set the status) plus a 1s interval as the catch-all.

It keeps the other extension's behavior intact — only the status line is suppressed.

Install

pi install npm:@guygrigsby/pi-status-sweeper

Config

PI_STATUS_SWEEPER — set to off to leave the extension-status line alone.
