{
  "format": "bash",
  "position": "left",
  "refreshInterval": 1000
}

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions

Nerd Font glyphs showing as boxes or missing symbols
Install Nerd Font and configure terminal. Test: echo -e ' '. Set font to 'FiraCode Nerd Font Mono' or 'MesloLGS NF'. Run fc-cache -fv to refresh cache.
Git status shows '(detached)' instead of branch name
You're in detached HEAD state (normal for commit checkouts). Run git branch -q to see state. Checkout branch: git checkout main or create: git checkout -b feature-name.
Git icons not rendering correctly in VS Code terminal
Add to settings.json: "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'FiraCode Nerd Font Mono'". Restart VS Code. If issues persist, install: sudo apt install fonts-symbola.
Statusline displays incorrectly after git operations
Increase refreshInterval if statusline lags git state. Use git status --porcelain for reliable scripting. Verify read access: test -r .git && echo OK.
Model name abbreviation too aggressive or unclear
Modify sed patterns to preserve model info. Script shortens 'claude-sonnet-4-5' to 'snnt'. Keep full name by removing: | sed 's/sonnet/snnt/' line.
