What

Claude Status can link to the status page. Press l on the widget in the line editor, and the whole widget becomes an OSC 8 hyperlink to https://status.claude.com:

• the label, the status and the history strip;
• also the ? shown when the status couldn't be fetched, which is when the page is most worth a look.

It's off by default, like Git Branch's and Git Root Dir's links. The editor row shows status link while it's on. Terminals without OSC 8 support show the text as before.

Why

When the widget says minor or major, the details (which service, since when, what's being done) are on the status page. Until now you had to go and find it. Git Branch and Git Root Dir already link to the repo or the IDE in the same way, so this follows their pattern rather than adding a new one.

How

• ClaudeStatus.ts:
  • render wraps what the widget draws with renderOsc8Link while the linkToStatusPage flag is set. The drawing itself moves unchanged into renderStatus.
  • l (toggle-link) flips the flag with toggleMetadataFlag.
  • The editor display lists history and status link together.
• claude-service-status.ts: exports CLAUDE_STATUS_PAGE_URL, built from the host the widget already fetches its status from, so the host stays in one place.
• Status line: the link is a plain https URL without spaces or control characters, so the terminal sanitizer keeps it.

Demo

The line editor: l on Claude Status adds status link to its row, l again removes it, and a third l turns it back on.

Powerline

Plain

Piped through the real pipeline, from a seeded status cache (minor, with an incident open for 5 hours), so no request is made. The recording terminal underlines the linked widget. The second render shows the escape codes, with ESC drawn as ␛.

Testing

• ClaudeStatus.test.ts:
  • With the link on, the status, the raw value, an unknown ? and the preview are each wrapped in the link. With it off, the output is unchanged.
  • The history strip is linked along with the status.
  • l sets and clears the flag, and the editor row reads (status link) and (history, status link).
  • The keybind list includes l.
  • On a rendered status line, the link survives the sanitizer.
• bun test: 3116 pass, 0 fail. bun run lint passes. Under Node (Vitest), ClaudeStatus.test.ts passes 18 of 18.
• Built CLI (Bun 1.4.2 and Node 26.10.0):
  • with the baseline plain and Powerline configs, identical to main;
  • with the demo's configs, both runtimes agree and add the link;
  • the TUI opens and exits under both;
  • driven in tmux under both, l on Claude Status adds status link to its row, and a second l removes it.

Made a small tweak to render the link on the preview TUI as well.
