A dormant new banner layout for agent/tmux hints was added to the prompt input row but isn't active yet

What

New rendering code has appeared in the prompt input area of Claude Code. It builds a combined signal from an agent state, a tmux hint (tmux is a terminal multiplexer that lets you split a terminal into panes), and the existing standalone banner, and if any of these is present it would switch to a different layout: a title bar plus a dedicated agent-mode row, instead of the normal banner-and-border layout.

This code path is not yet reachable in this build, so nothing changes in what you see today.

Why

This looks like groundwork for a future visual treatment when Claude Code is running as an agent or inside tmux, but since the path is currently dead, there is nothing to expect from it yet.
