pi-extension: let me hide the status badge while keeping the mode onΒ #618

Description

@guygrigsby

Want a way to suppress the footer badge (● 🐴 ponytail: ⚑ FULL) without turning ponytail off.

The badge holds permanent footer real estate to show something that almost never changes: the mode label is static, only the ●/β—‹ active dot moves. A persistent indicator for a value that doesn't vary is the exact waste ponytail exists to kill, so it stings a bit more here than most.

Today the only lever is /ponytail off, which drops the badge but also disables the mode. syncStatus in pi-extension/index.js always calls setStatus("ponytail", ...) whenever mode !== "off", with no opt-out.

Proposal, any one of:

  • env PONYTAIL_STATUSLINE=off, checked at the top of syncStatus
  • statusline: false in the ponytail config.json
  • a /ponytail badge on|off toggle, persisted like the mode

Happy to send a PR if you point me at the preferred shape.
