Descripción
## Feature request: expose `total_files_modified` in the status line payload
### Context
The configurable status line (`statusLine.command`) receives a JSON payload on stdin with a `cost` object that currently includes:
```js
cost: {
total_api_duration_ms,
total_lines_added,
total_lines_removed,
total_duration_ms,
total_premium_requests
}
```
`total_lines_added` / `total_lines_removed` are great for showing a `+12/-3`‑style diff summary, but there's no companion field for the **number of files touched** in the session.
### Proposal
Add `total_files_modified: number` (the count, not the array) to the `cost` payload sent to the status line script. The runtime already tracks `codeChanges.filesModified` internally (it surfaces in `/usage` and in `session.shutdown` events), so this is essentially exposing existing state.
```js
cost: {
total_api_duration_ms,
total_lines_added,
total_lines_removed,
total_files_modified, // ← new
total_duration_ms,
total_premium_requests
}
```
### Use case
Status line scripts can render a more complete change summary, e.g.:
```
Context 25k/100k [bar] 25% · ↑112k ⊚80k ↓5k ($0.35) · +42/-13 in 4 files
```
This is the natural complement to the line‑count fields and matches how most diff tools summarize changes (lines + file count).
### Why a count and not the list
Sending the full path list would bloat the payload on long sessions and leak filesystem context unnecessarily. A simple integer count is enough for the status‑line use case.
### Alternative considered
Reading `~/.copilot/session-state//events.jsonl` from the script — rejected as fragile (race conditions with the writer, 200 ms refresh budget, parsing a growing JSONL on every tick).
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza en la construcción del payload de statusLine.command y sigue cómo se ensamblan los campos de coste existentes a partir del estado codeChanges.filesModified del runtime. Añade el recuento junto con los demás campos de coste y verifica después que la línea de estado recibe total_files_modified como un número y que los campos existentes del payload permanecen sin cambios.
