The token total floated over the bottom-right of the transcript, where a
long message ran underneath it, and the working indicator was an item
inside the list -- so it scrolled away exactly when somebody reading back
wanted to know whether anything was still happening.
Both are facts about the session rather than turns in it, so they get one
row directly above the box you type into: the thing they report on is the
next thing you touch. `exited` moves with them, since it is the same kind
of fact and nothing else on the screen would have said it once the
indicator left the list.
The row is drawn whether or not it has anything to say. An empty one
costs a line; a row that came and went would move the text box under a
reader's thumb every time a turn started, and would make its own presence
the signal for a state it never names. For the same reason the compaction
case had to fit the same single line: its bar now takes the row's free
width between the label and the total rather than a row of its own, which
keeps it far wider than a spinner -- the reason it is a bar at all, since
nothing arrives in the transcript while a compaction runs and a small
moving thing there reads as a session that has hung.
Still no fraction to fill, re-measured today rather than assumed: a real
80,346-to-2,088-token compaction took 23 seconds and the CLI emitted not
one line between saying it had started and saying it had finished.
Elapsed seconds remain the only honest number.
Looked at on the emulator in all three states -- idle, working, and six
seconds into a real compaction -- and at 320dp, the narrowest width a
phone actually has, where the row still holds one line.
