This Noctalia v4 plugin is an aggregate-status launcher. It renders the workspace counts supplied through its plugin:pi-status-bridge IPC handler. Clicking its bar widget starts pi-status-bridge.service and toggles the standalone Pi Status UI. Set PI_STATUS_UI_BINARY to override the UI binary; the packaged local build path is the fallback.

Use pi-status-bridge-client to query the owner-only Unix bridge socket. A local integration script should translate responses and events into the plugin IPC handler's setBridgeState(state, projectLabel, attentionCount, detail) call. The plugin never opens a Noctalia panel, sends prompts, switches sessions, chooses a worktree silently, or approves extension requests.

Install/register it through Noctalia's normal plugin workflow, then add its bar widget in Noctalia settings.
