Tt Sidebar

Open a live Token Tracker sidebar for only the current Codex session in a right-side terminal split at one-third width. Use when the user explicitly invokes $tt-sidebar or asks to monitor the current Codex session beside its terminal pane.

TT Sidebar

Run the installed launcher exactly once:

__TT_SIDEBAR_COMMAND__

Choose execution permissions from the current terminal environment before running it:

On iTerm2 (ITERM_SESSION_ID set, with no TMUX_PANE), run the launcher outside the Codex sandbox by setting sandbox_permissions to require_escalated. Set justification to ask whether Token Tracker may control iTerm2 to create the sidebar pane. If reusable approval is supported, set prefix_rule to the complete launcher argv above; never approve Python generally. Do not first try the iTerm2 launcher inside the sandbox: macOS may hide iTerm2's AppleScript dictionary and misreport error -2741.
On Ghostty (TERM_PROGRAM=ghostty, macOS, Ghostty ≥ 1.3.0), apply the same escalated execution as iTerm2: the launcher drives Ghostty's AppleScript split and the sandbox may hide Ghostty's scripting dictionary and misreport error -2741.
On tmux (TMUX_PANE set), run the launcher with normal sandbox permissions.

Return the launcher's output directly. Do not run regular tt sidebar, inject a command into a transient shell, or open another sidebar in the current pane. If the launcher fails, report only its concise stage error.

The launcher must keep the source pane focused and open a right-side pane at one-third width. The split view is current-session-only and is intentionally independent from the regular all-session tt sidebar layout.
