-The forty-column bar uses full-height half-blocks for eighty steps of fill, reading Pi's `getContextUsage()` directly on every render. Its percentage uses Pi's full context window, the same scale as Pi's footer, including Pi's estimate of messages since the last provider response. Within that fill, colours show the estimated visible composition, grouped by distance from compression: **Consolidated Folds, Span Folds, Tool Folds, Marked, Raw, Pinned**. The first three are compressed now, deepest first; marked content folds at the next commit; raw content is eligible later; pinned content is held against every commit until released. The six shades, from consolidated to pinned, are read off a colour map, [Crameri's Batlow](https://www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps/) end to end by default, so the bar reads as a gradient from most compressed to most settled. `/fold-settings` offers Batlow, viridis, plasma, magma and cividis, and where on the chosen map the two ends sit, so a slice of a map or a reversed one is a keypress away; the bar repaints on each step. Whatever the choice, each shade's lightness is moved away from the background, hue held, until it clears 4.5:1 on dark and light terminals, 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 forty-column bar uses full-height half-blocks for eighty steps of fill, reading Pi's `getContextUsage()` directly whenever the session moves, on the same key Pi's footer re-reads on (session, leaf entry, entry count, model), so a repaint never pays for a fresh reading. Its percentage uses Pi's full context window, the same scale as Pi's footer, including Pi's estimate of messages since the last provider response. Within that fill, colours show the estimated visible composition, grouped by distance from compression: **Consolidated Folds, Span Folds, Tool Folds, Marked, Raw, Pinned**. The first three are compressed now, deepest first; marked content folds at the next commit; raw content is eligible later; pinned content is held against every commit until released. The six shades, from consolidated to pinned, are read off a colour map, [Crameri's Batlow](https://www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps/) end to end by default, so the bar reads as a gradient from most compressed to most settled. `/fold-settings` offers Batlow, viridis, plasma, magma and cividis, and where on the chosen map the two ends sit, so a slice of a map or a reversed one is a keypress away; the bar repaints on each step. Whatever the choice, each shade's lightness is moved away from the background, hue held, until it clears 4.5:1 on dark and light terminals, 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 Mark, Y Pin)`, naming only the kinds with something to count, in the bar's order; a fresh session reads `0 Folds`. `N Folds` counts visible compressed folds; `Mark` counts pending marks and `Pin` counts protected entries, 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. Its `Budget` row and the editor's `Budget` header report the separate serving budget and the tokens remaining before a commit.
 
-Two dotted marks stand in the band's edge cells: one where a commit aims to land and one where automatic folding is triggered. `minTarget` and `maxTarget` remain shares of the serving budget; the marks and displayed commit point are converted to Pi's full-window scale, so the trigger does not move. With a 272,000-token window and the default 255,616-token serving budget, the 80% trigger appears at about 75% of Pi's window. Percentages are rounded to whole numbers; a custom footer may round differently. Each is drawn over the fill's own colour in a deeper tone of that same hue, so the fill continues behind the mark; on the empty track they stand in muted ink. Neither takes a colour of its own or a warning colour. When Pi reports unknown usage, including immediately after native compaction, the row says `not measured yet`; no saved count or local estimate fills the gap. After a fold 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 usage label rounds down to a whole percentage, matching pi-cc's footer; bar fill and folding decisions keep the unrounded value. The displayed commit point rounds to the nearest whole percentage. Each is drawn over the fill's own colour in a deeper tone of that same hue, so the fill continues behind the mark; on the empty track they stand in muted ink.

+### The chat
+
+The chat shows the model's window. Pi paints its chat from every session entry and only native compaction clears it, so without this a long folded session would keep its whole transcript on screen. Each fold the model holds collapsed appears as one muted row, `▸ consolidation · 59 entries · <brief>`, in place of the messages it covers. When the model expands a fold, its messages return where they were. The view follows the model one way: it changes when a commit, an expansion or a refold changes what the model sees, or when Pi repaints the chat, and nothing done in the chat changes the model's context. `/fold-editor` remains the place to read inside a fold.
