Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the CLI's status-line rendering and token-count handling, then determine the expected raw-count format and placement. Done means the status line consistently shows raw token counts in the relevant prompt workflow and the behavior is covered by the project's existing checks.
