Research direction

Start in apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx at the compactTrailing Text and compare its modifiers with the banner, watch card, and row texts. Reproduce with AgentActivity sharing the Dynamic Island with another Live Activity, then verify that active, finished, approval, input, and other compact statuses remain on one line and shrink or use an appropriate shorter form.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Enable Live Activities in the T3 Code iOS app and start an agent turn so the AgentActivity Live Activity appears.
  2. Start a Live Activity from any other app (e.g. a podcast/now-playing, timer, or sports activity) so the Dynamic Island shows two activities side by side.
  3. Look at the T3 pill while the agent is running ("1 active"), then again after it finishes ("Done").
Expected behavior

The compact trailing status stays on one line, e.g. T3 1 active / T3 Done. If space is tight, it should shrink or fall back to a shorter form, not break across lines.

Actual behavior

The compact trailing label wraps onto a second line:

  • 1 active shows as 1 above act…
  • Done breaks in the middle of the word, as Don above e

The T3 pill still has plenty of empty horizontal space, so the label is wrapping inside a narrow trailing slot, not because the pill is full.

Likely cause

apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx (main @ 4ee6bfd5), compactTrailing:

compactTrailing: (
  <Text modifiers={[font({ weight: "semibold", size: 11 }), foregroundStyle(tint)]}>
    {attentionRow
      ? attentionRow.phase === "waiting_for_approval"
        ? "Approval"
        : "Input"
      : activeLabel}
  </Text>
),

This is the only status Text in the file without lineLimit(1); the banner, watch card, and row texts all have it. When iOS gives the trailing region a narrow proposed width (as it does when the island is shared), SwiftUI wraps the text instead of truncating it.

Suggested fix
  • Add lineLimit(1) to the compactTrailing text, plus minimumScaleFactor(...) or fixedSize() so it shrinks or takes its natural width instead of truncating or wrapping.
  • Optionally use a terser compact label: the count only (1) while running, and the existing phase glyph (checkmark / cross) for Done/Failed, matching what minimal already does. Approval / Input / Out of date can hit the same problem.
Impact

Cosmetic issue

Version or commit

T3 Code iOS 2.0.0; code reference main @ 4ee6bfd5

Environment

iPhone 18 Pro Max, iOS 27.2. Reproduced whenever a second app's Live Activity shares the Dynamic Island.

Screenshots

Running — 1 active wraps to 1 / act… (the other app's activity is blurred):

Finished — Done breaks as Don / e:
