Visualize auto/manual mode in the TUI status bar #16
The current auto/manual mode (auto_mode config) is not visible in the TUI. The user has no way to know whether they're in auto mode without checking config.
Current state
auto_mode is a config flag in packages/core/src/v1/config/config.ts
Auto mode is toggled via the --auto CLI flag or the /auto command
No visual indicator exists in the TUI status bar or prompt line
The auto-mode-btw-command change already has some related work but doesn't include a TUI indicator
Fix
Add a clear, unobtrusive indicator in the TUI that shows the current mode:
Option A: Status bar label
Add AUTO or MANUAL label to the existing status bar next to the model/agent display
Style: small badge with distinct color (green for auto, gray for manual)
Option B: Prompt line indicator
Add (auto) or (manual) suffix to the prompt input line
Less prominent but always visible when typing
Option C: Leader key menu
Add a toggle in the leader key menu that shows current state
Good for discovery but doesn't persist in the UI
Recommendation: Option A — status bar label is the most idiomatic for TUIs, always visible, and follows the pattern of other status indicators (model, agent).
Verification
Indicator appears in status bar when auto mode is on
Indicator disappears or changes when auto mode is off
Indicator updates in real time when mode changes via config, --auto flag, or /auto command
Tasks
Tasks
1. Audit current TUI status bar in packages/tui/src/
2. Design the indicator (label, style, placement)
3. Implement the indicator component
4. Wire to auto_mode config state
5. Verify real-time updates when mode changes
6. Test with --auto flag, /auto command, and config change

Done in 5775f8a: the prompt footer's ● auto badge now follows both the TUI toggle and config auto_mode, and Disable clears both.
