Usage 0.28.9: Claude Code's status line finally works end-to-end on

Release notes

FEATURE

Claude Code's status line finally works end-to-end on Windows

On Windows, Claude Code's status line at the bottom of the terminal could fail somewhere along the way. This release fixes four links in that chain. Hooks (small programs triggered by particular events) now avoid Python paths containing non-ASCII characters, and --setup migrates older commands. All five hook scripts now read standard input as UTF-8, so a working-folder name like GitHub專案 is no longer turned into mojibake and prevented from writing usage-status.json. If Windows has no LANG-style environment variable, the hooks now use the system UI language instead. Wide terminals also measure their actual width again, restoring the (left) reset-time suffix. It is like repairing the wiring, language setting, and ruler behind a train-information board so its timetable does not vanish mid-journey. Non-Windows behavior is unchanged.

Original changelog

Original changelogClaude Code's status line finally works end-to-end on Windows

**The Claude Code statusLine hook now works end-to-end on Windows**: four fixes land together. `setup_hook` now prefers an all-ASCII `python.exe` path (falling back to system PATH when the venv path isn't ASCII), since Claude Code on Windows fails to spawn statusLine commands whose path contains non-ASCII characters; `--setup` migrates existing non-ASCII commands. All five hook scripts now read stdin via `sys.stdin.buffer` and decode UTF-8 explicitly (and the forwarder pins `encoding=utf-8` on its subprocess fan-out), since Windows otherwise decodes the piped session JSON with the locale codepage, turning a cwd like `GitHub專案` into mojibake and silently breaking `usage-status.json` writes. Hooks now fall back to `GetUserDefaultUILanguage` when no `LANG`-style env var is set (the Windows norm), matching the tray's existing language detection. `get_width()` now probes the real console width via `CONOUT$` + `GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo` instead of always falling back to a fixed 116 columns, restoring the `(left)` reset-time suffix on wide terminals. Non-Windows behavior is unchanged.
