What
- Show compact elapsed time in the TUI status indicator: Xs, MmSSs,
HhMMmSSs.
- Add private helper fmt_elapsed_compact with a unit test.
Why
- Seconds‑only becomes hard to read during longer runs; minutes/hours
improve clarity without extra noise.
How
- Implemented in codex-rs/tui/src/status_indicator_widget.rs only.
- The helper is used when rendering the existing “Working/Thinking”
timer.
- No changes to codex-common::elapsed::format_duration or other crates.
Scope/Impact
- TUI‑only; no public API changes; minimal risk.
- Snapshot tests should remain unchanged (most show “0s”).
Before/After
- Working (65s • Esc to interrupt) → Working (1m05s • Esc to interrupt)
- Working (3723s • …) → Working (1h02m03s • …)
Tests
- Unit: fmt_elapsed_compact_formats_seconds_minutes_hours.
- Local checks: cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy -p codex-tui -- -D
warnings, cargo test -p codex-tui.
Notes
- Open to adjusting the exact format or moving the helper if maintainers
prefer a shared location.
