/context data sent to plugins now includes deferred and loaded status flags plus a richer breakdown

What

The data that /context (which visualizes current context window usage as a colored grid) hands off to a plugin's contextData call is now shaped into a more structured object. It includes:

  • categories, each with an isDeferred flag
  • grid rows and memory files
  • MCP tools, each with an isLoaded flag
  • agents
  • optionally slash commands, skills, the auto-compact threshold, and API usage
Why

This gives plugins a more detailed and structured view of what's using up context, including whether a given category or tool is deferred or already loaded, rather than a flatter summary.
