status

Report the current compact-manager state.

1. Locate the compact-manager CLI. The path in the later steps normally reads as an absolute path (script installs write it in). If it instead still says ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} literally — plugin installs may not substitute command markdown — find the CLI file itself: find ~/.claude/plugins -maxdepth 8 -type f -name compact-manager -path "*/bin/*" 2>/dev/null (this handles versioned cache layouts, where a directory merely NAMED compact-manager has no bin/). If several paths match, use the most recently modified (ls -t).
2. Run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/compact-manager" overview and relay its output verbatim in a code block. The logic (window resolution, attention flags, current-session marker) lives in the CLI, not here — do not re-derive it.
3. Add ONE line of interpretation for the >-marked session row: its usage percentage and whether a watcher holds it. (> is a recency heuristic — check its updated age; seconds-old means it is almost certainly the invoking session.) Any row flagged ATTENTION, DEAD-LEASE, or MALFORMED-LEASE needs the human's eyes — lead with those. (Raw JSON, if needed: the status subcommand.) Note: the start-of-session status line uses stricter positive-proof attachment than the overview's conservative live flag, so the two can disagree on a malformed lease. The MALFORMED-LEASE flag catches pid-malformed shapes on rows that surface as live; it cannot see an empty lease file (no row is produced at all), a dead lease's pid shape (flagged DEAD-LEASE instead), or fields the row does not carry (token, start time, heartbeat). A watcher row with reason=session_rotated means the pane's session id changed under it (/clear or in-app /resume) and it retired cleanly — suggest re-attaching if the user wants the pane's current session watched. The sessions table's alive column is the CLI's own verdict (registry + /proc proof) — relay it, don't re-derive: GONE means the session's claude process is no longer running and the row is just its state file aging out (≤24h); ? means liveness could not be judged on this machine. A GONE row is normal housekeeping, not something to alert on.
