The settings/status panel can now show a localTools row

What

The panel that displays status rows such as project files, settings, and plugins now also has a localTools row, shown only when there's data for it to display, following the same conditional pattern already used for the panel's trailing notes row.

Why

This lets the status panel surface information about local tools when relevant, without cluttering the display when there's nothing to show.

Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding doesn't say what data populates the localTools row or what counts as a local tool here.
Anthropic's release notes agreeImproved the startup notice overflow line under the logo: it now reads "N more notices hidden" instead of "+N more · /status"
