Show context window usage inline in the status bar by jh-block · Pull Request #7607 · aaif-goose/goose

jh-block · 2026-03-02T20:23:26Z

Moves context window information from a hidden popover into the status bar for always-visible usage tracking.

Changes

New ContextWindowIndicator component — displays token usage inline (e.g. 12.4k / 128k), color-coded grey normally, orange at 75-90%, red above 90%
Alert popover moved from the model name to the context window indicator — hover/click the usage text to access auto-compact threshold settings and the compact button
Removed redundant progress visualization (dot bar, token counts, percentage) from the popover since that info is now always visible in the status bar

Resolved merge conflicts with main (which added /// props to ) and fixed a secondary issue: was gating behind , which would hide the alert bell when the token limit wasn't yet known. Now the popover always renders; only the token count text is conditional.

Resolved merge conflicts with main (which added sessionModel/sessionProvider/onModelChanged/sessionLoaded props to ModelsBottomBar) and fixed a secondary issue: ContextWindowIndicator was gating BottomMenuAlertPopover behind the tokenLimit check, which would hide the alert bell when the token limit was not yet known. Now the popover always renders; only the token count text is conditional on tokenLimit > 0.

+        <BottomMenuAlertPopover alerts={alerts} />
+        {tokenLimit > 0 && (
+          <span className={`text-xs font-mono cursor-default ${colorClass}`}>


Make context usage text open the alert popover

The new inline usage indicator renders the token text as a passive span (cursor-default) while the popover trigger remains the tiny dot from BottomMenuAlertPopover, so users cannot hover/click the usage text to reach auto-compact settings. In practice this makes the moved controls much harder to discover/use and breaks the intended “usage text is the entry point” interaction for this feature.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

💡 Codex Review

https://github.com/block/goose/blob/66038b331a5c7891d95cdd12ec7470adef6720c5/ui/desktop/src/components/bottom_menu/BottomMenuAlertPopover.tsx#L241
Prevent opening an empty alert popover

Because this component now renders whenever children is present, the trigger is visible even when alerts is empty, but the click/hover handlers still set isOpen unconditionally; that path renders the popover shell with zero AlertBox rows. In practice, users can get a blank floating panel during the initial load window (before the context alert is added) or immediately after clearAlerts(), which is confusing and looks broken.

 const stripEmptySlots = (params: Params) => {
  for (const [slot, value] of Object.entries(params)) {
-    if (value && typeof value === 'object' && !Array.isArray(value) && !Object.keys(value).length) {
+    if (value && typeof value === 'object' && !Object.keys(value).length) {


Preserve empty array request bodies in param cleanup

stripEmptySlots now deletes any empty object-like value, but arrays are objects with zero keys when empty, so a valid body like [] gets removed from the request. This changes API semantics for endpoints that accept an empty array payload (the body is omitted entirely), and this regression was introduced by dropping the !Array.isArray(value) guard in this commit.

- Resolved merge conflict in AlertBox.test.tsx: kept PR's removal of progress dots/token count tests while adopting main's renderWithIntl wrapper - Fixed empty popover issue: guard click/hover handlers in BottomMenuAlertPopover to not open when alerts array is empty, preventing a blank floating panel during initial load or after clearAlerts() Signed-off-by: jh-block <jhugo@block.xyz>
