Replace session wall clock with completed sub-agent durations

[TheGreatAxios]

Summary

• Status bar no longer shows whole-session elapsed wall clock
• Shows summed completed sub-agent durations (agents Xm Ys) when any worker has finished
• Agents strip appends per-agent duration for running and finished sessions

Test plan

• Fresh session status bar has brand but no ticking session timer
• After a sub-agent completes, status bar shows agents … total
• Agents strip shows duration per session
• Narrow terminals still drop low-priority segments correctly

Closes CL-5346

Code review (parent — multi-agent fleet unavailable)

Verdict: approve with nits

Correctness

• Session wall clock removed from status bar; formatCompletedAgentsLabel sums finished done|failed|cancelled workers.
• Agents strip shows per-session duration for running and finished sessions.
• Tests updated for layout planner and label helper.

Nits

1. Stale clock: completedAgentsLabel is computed on parent re-render only — finished agents update when session store notifies, which is fine; running-agent strip times use Date.now() without a tick, so running durations freeze until another re-render (pre-existing pattern for strip tool labels too).
2. IIFE in JSX for optional prop is a bit awkward; a precomputed const completedAgentsLabel = … above the return would read cleaner (not blocking).
3. formatElapsed still exported and used by the agents label — good reuse; ensure no other callers still expect a mandatory timer (grep looked clean in this PR).

Tests

• Good coverage of layout planner rename timerText → agentsText and formatCompletedAgentsLabel sum logic.

Review — request changes

Direction is good (session wall clock was noisy; completed-agent totals are more useful), but this PR currently breaks existing unit tests and leaves running durations non-ticking.

Verdict: request changes

Blocking issues

1. formatSessionLabel will fail existing exact-match tests
   Running sessions always append · ${formatStripDuration(Date.now() - startedAt)}. Fixtures in tests/unit/tui/agents-strip.test.ts use startedAt: 0 and assert exact strings like:

   • "researcher: researching things — manage_tasks"
   • "researcher: researching things — bun test"
     Those will now include a huge duration suffix. This PR does not update those tests.

2. Call site still expects the old prop
   tests/unit/tui/chrome-zone-budgets.test.tsx still renders:

   <StatusBar sessionElapsedMs={0} mcpCount={0} />

   After removing sessionElapsedMs, this fails typecheck / compile.

3. Running strip durations will not tick reliably
   Removing useSessionClock removes the 1s App-level re-render. Running labels use Date.now() only at render time, so durations freeze unless something else re-renders (spinner, stream events, forceRender). If we show live agent timing, keep a 1s tick while any strip session is running (or drive from an existing clock).

Other correctness / quality notes

• tests/unit/tui/status-bar.test.tsx duplicates "planStatusBarLayout drops the model segment when cwd cannot absorb the overflow" (two adjacent copies with slightly different fixtures).
• formatStripDuration duplicates formatElapsed with different hour formatting (1h 2m vs 1h 2m 3s) — prefer one helper.
• IIFE prop spread in app.tsx works but is hard to read; a plain const agentsLabel = … above JSX is clearer.
• sessionStartedAt / setSessionStartedAt remain wired for /new but nothing displays them after this change — dead path unless kept for a future use; either use or clean up.
• formatCompletedAgentsLabel sums wall times (parallel agents inflate the total). Fine if intentional; consider wording if operators read it as elapsed wall clock.

Test gaps

• Good coverage for formatCompletedAgentsLabel and StatusBar hide/show.
• Missing: agents-strip duration cases (running + finished), chrome-zone budget update, and a render-tick expectation if live durations stay.

Merge conflicts

• CLEAN / MERGEABLE vs main today; single-commit PR. Coordinate with any parallel status-bar work (subscription segment, etc.) if that lands first.

Please fix the broken call sites/tests and decide whether running durations should tick before merge.

Addressed multi-agent review:

• Running sessions no longer get a live Date.now() duration in the strip (finished-only, matches product intent).
• chrome-zone-budgets StatusBar call updated (dropped sessionElapsedMs).
• formatSessionLabel tests cover finishedAt duration suffix.

Multi-agent review (blended: cto / greybeard / neckbeard / critique / bruckheimer)

Verdict: Approve (after post-review fixes)

Fixed from review

• Running sessions no longer get a live wall-clock duration (finished-only, matches product intent).
• Dead sessionStartedAt / useSessionClock plumbing fully removed.
• Status-bar / agents-strip / chrome-budget tests green.

Ready for human review/merge.

Hard review (greybeard + CTO)

Verdict: APPROVE

Greybeard

Session wall clock is gone. Completed sub-agent durations use finishedAt only (no live Date.now tick on running agents). Shared formatElapsed removes the third near-copy.

CTO

Product intent matches: bottom-right is useful again (agents work, not session age). Tests cover strip + status-bar labels.

No blockers.
