ui: show active subagent model and reasoning effort in bottom bar #57366

Closed as duplicate

Description

@tlerbao

Summary

In OpenCode v2, when viewing or interacting within a subagent session, the bottom status bar does not prominently display the active subagent's model name and reasoning effort (thinking intensity). While this information is visible in the sidebar, displaying it in the bottom bar—consistent with the main agent experience—would significantly improve status visibility and UX consistency.

Current Behavior

  • When entering a subagent session, the bottom status/input bar does not clearly reflect the subagent's model or reasoning effort.
  • Users must refer to or open the sidebar to confirm which model and reasoning level the current subagent is running.

Expected / Proposed Behavior

  • Display the subagent's model name and reasoning effort level (e.g. low/medium/high/tokens) in the bottom bar, just like in the main agent session.
  • Keep the indicators dynamically updated whenever switching between the root agent and various subagents.

Environment

  • OpenCode Version: 2.1.0
  • Client: TUI / Desktop App v2
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 22.4.0)
  • Active plugins: oh-my-opencode-slim

    Thanks for the report! I think this is a duplicate of #50795. It asks for the same thing: when you open a subagent's child session, show that session's model and variant (reasoning effort) at the bottom, the same way the main prompt does.

    We didn't hear back on how this differs from #50795, so I'm closing it as a duplicate. #50795 asks for the same thing: when you open a subagent's session, show that session's model and variant (reasoning effort) at the bottom, the same way the main session does. Open PR #50798 implements it. Please follow #50795 for updates. If your request is different, for example specific to the Desktop app, reply here and we can reopen. Thanks!
