Research direction

Start by tracing the CLI TUI status bar code that formats cumulative input tokens; the issue does not name a file or test. Check the formatting boundary at one million tokens and look for related status line tests. Done when 1,000,000 input tokens display as 1M in rather than 1000K in.
