-The bar is the serving budget, forty cells wide, oldest material on the left. The two ticks are the band: the left one is `minTarget`, where a commit aims to land, and the right one is `maxTarget`, where the commit fires. The fill is the provider's own count of what is in the window, never an estimate, so before the first response the row says `not measured yet` and draws nothing. One cell is one fortieth of the budget, and the fill reads left to right in three colours: the placeholders of standing folds first, drawn as low slivers and small by design; then staged spans, the raw material the next commit collapses; then raw material the runtime has not claimed yet. The label repeats the percentage, names the commit point (or reads `COMMIT DUE` once the fill has crossed it and `commit held` once that count has been weighed), states how many spans are staged, and ends with what folding has already bought: the tokens the standing folds hide from the window. Every token figure prices a pasted image as one image rather than as its base64 text, the same way the occupancy estimate does. Right after a commit the percentage is still the provider's last count, so the label says it is from before the commit until the next response measures the window again. If automatic folding ever stops, the row reads `FOLDING STOPPED` in place of the bar. On a truecolor terminal the three fill classes take three steps of Crameri's batlow colour map; elsewhere they use the theme's own colours.
+The forty-column bar uses full-height half-blocks for eighty steps of fill, following the provider's measured count against the serving budget. Within that fill, colours show the estimated visible composition, grouped in this order: **Consolidated Folds, Span Folds, Tool Folds, Pinned, Marked, Raw**. Compressed content uses the first half of [Crameri's Batlow palette](https://www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps/); still-raw content uses the second half. Foreground lightness is adjusted for dark and light backgrounds, and label colours match the bar. Each nonempty category keeps at least one half-cell when the measured fill has room; remaining width follows relative mass. This visibility floor makes small compressed categories visible, so individual category widths are not token-exact. At very low occupancy, the largest shares take the available space. There are no individual fold edges, scores, or height differences.
+
+The suffix reads `34% · commit at 55% · N Folds (X Cons., Y Span, Z Tool, X Pin, Y Mark)`. `N Folds` counts visible compressed folds; `Pin` counts protected entries and `Mark` counts pending marks, not additional compressed folds. A tool fold is lossless compression of tool-result context, not a count of tool calls. `/fold-status` retains the detailed token and nesting figures.
+
+Matching dashed guides show `minTarget`, where a commit aims to land, and `maxTarget`, where automatic folding is triggered. Before a measurement the row says `not measured yet`; after a commit it identifies the old reading until the provider measures again. Crossing the target is routine runtime work, not a user action item. On reload, saved session context supplies the fold counts and composition without a new model message; the next real context event replaces that read-only view. Unavailable composition is stated as `mapping`; if folding stops, `FOLDING STOPPED` replaces the bar. Non-truecolor terminals use the theme's own colours.

- * THE FOLD BAR: one widget row above the footer, drawn by us rather than by the host.

- * bar would need is denied to a string: the host sorts statuses by key and joins them,
- * collapses runs of spaces, truncates from the right, and bakes ANSI that goes stale on a
- * theme switch. `ctx.ui.setWidget` hands us a component instead: `render(width)` receives
- * the terminal width, the row is ours alone, and the theme is read at render time so a
- * `/theme` switch repaints it. Placed below the editor it sits directly above the footer,
- * which is where Claude Code draws the same bar.
- *
- * WHAT THE BAR ARGUES: how full the window is against the two points where something
- * happens to it. The fill is read against ticks ON the bar at the aim (minTarget) and the
- * commit point (maxTarget). Inside the fill, oldest on the left: `▂` for the placeholders
- * of standing folds, `▓` for staged raw spans (what the next commit collapses), `▇` for
- * raw the ladder has not claimed. The label states what folding has already bought.
- *
- * THE BAR IS A FIXED WIDTH. A bar sized to the leftover width moves the commit tick
- * between renders, and the tick is the landmark the whole row exists to place the fill
- * against. What varies with the terminal is the label, cut from the right.
- *
- * WHAT IT WILL NOT DRAW: an unmeasured window (an empty bar is a guess drawn; law 2 of
- * the human surfaces), a suspended session (no bar promising a commit beside FOLDING
- * STOPPED; law 5), fold positions (a placeholder is a few hundred tokens against cells of
- * tens of thousands), and fold depth, which /fold-editor shows with a row per fold.
- *
- * COLOUR: raw, staged and folded form an ordered ladder of how much of the window each
- * state costs, so they are three classes sampled off Crameri's batlow, a perceptually
- * uniform, colour-vision-deficiency-safe sequential map; on a 256-colour terminal they
- * fall back to the theme's own names. Scaffolding (empty cells, the aim tick, the brand)
- * stays on the theme's dim ink; the commit tick takes the theme's warning colour, which
