The new header status badge can be hovered and clicked, and clicking it sends a telemetry event

What

The status indicator added to the CLI header (showing Remote Control's connection state) now responds to the mouse: hovering highlights it, and clicking it fires a click telemetry event that records the status label shown at the time.

Why

Making the badge interactive suggests it is meant to do more than just display status; the telemetry lets Anthropic see how often people interact with it.

The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what clicking the badge actually does beyond sending telemetry.
