Field notes
The page describes separate views for session status, repository and branch context, and returning to a session. It proposes placing the status display in the MacBook notch or menu bar, with a floating pill for displays without a notch. The listed integrations span agent managers, CLI agents, and terminal apps, but the page cautions that support varies.
