 ** Status Bar
+
+The status bar, as of v0.4.0, renders Passepartout's three differentiator
+visualizations — data only available because of the deterministic gate
+architecture:
+
+- *Rule counter* (~Rules:N~): the number of pending HITL actions from the
+  Dispatcher's ~*hitl-pending*~ hash table. The user watches this tick up
+  as they teach the agent their preferences through approve/deny decisions.
+- *Focus map* (~[Focus: <id>]~): the foveal focus from the daemon's signal
+  context. Shows the user what the agent is currently looking at.
+- *Gate trace* (not rendered in status bar — attached to individual
+  messages via ~:gate-trace~ field for future collapsible rendering per
+  message).
+
+All three enrichments cost 0 LLM tokens — they are daemon-state queries
+that the TUI actuator attaches to the response plist before transmission.
