160160Claude Code captures your script's output instead of connecting it directly to the terminal, so `tput cols` and language-level width detection cannot read the terminal size from inside the script. Read the `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables instead. Claude Code sets these to the current terminal dimensions before running your script.

11201120* On Windows with Git Bash installed, backslashes in the `command` path are likely being consumed as escape characters before the script runs. Use forward slashes in the path. See [Windows configuration](#windows-configuration).
11211121* If `disableAllHooks` is `true` outside managed settings after [settings precedence](/docs/en/hooks#disable-or-remove-hooks) applies, Claude Code runs only a `statusLine` from managed settings, and with no managed `statusLine` the status line is disabled. Remove the setting, or set it to `false` in the file that sets it, to re-enable. See [`disableAllHooks`](/docs/en/settings-reference#disableallhooks).
11221122* If your organization sets `allowManagedHooksOnly` in managed settings, your custom status line disappears without warning: you can only get a status line from a `statusLine` value in those managed settings. See [what runs under `allowManagedHooksOnly`](/docs/en/settings-reference#what-runs-under-allowmanagedhooksonly) for the full behavior, and ask your administrator whether this setting applies to you.
1123* Run `claude --debug` to log the exit code and stderr from the first status line invocation in a session
1123* Run `claude --debug` to log your script's stderr on every status line invocation, and its exit code on the first invocation in a session
11241124* Ask Claude to read your settings file and execute the `statusLine` command directly to surface errors
