These members share a theme: the context-window usage indicator in the TUI and desktop status bar reportedly stays stale during an active turn, with a bug report, a feature request, and several PRs addressing live updates. One PR also mentions todo indicators and tests, so it may cover slightly broader progress-indicator work.

How this cluster was grouped

Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
Pairwise link density 0.34: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
