What issue are you seeing?

In codex-cli 0.150.1, the context-window usage indicator that previously appeared in /status is gone. Please bring it back. Without this display, it is harder to decompose work into short sessions because I prefer starting a new session instead of relying on /compact.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a04396-bd50-7c20-b728-b83648a2e87d

What is the expected behavior?

I execute /status and see context-usage monitor

Research direction

Start by tracing the /status command and inspect the uploaded thread 01a04396-bd50-7c20-b728-b83648a2e87d for the prior context-usage display. Reproduce the issue on Codex CLI 0.150.1, then verify that executing /status again shows a context-window usage monitor.
