cc-costline – See your Claude Code spend right in the statusline

It does one thing and does it cleanly: inject a compact statusline that shows tokens → dollar estimate, context usage coloring, 5h/7d limit progress, and a rolling period total (with optional ccclub rank). The zero-config behavior — silently omitting integrations you don't have, auto-reading OAuth from the macOS keychain, and writing safe hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json — is smart and pragmatic. This is narrowly useful (only Claude Code users), but the UX decisions (color thresholds, single-line density, cache strategy) show real attention to terminal workflows.
