# Lease the status widget to optional compositors
Subagents exposes its running-status panel through a structural, process-local interface while retaining ownership of the standalone widget. A host claims a callback-identified lease and must verify it before rendering; runtime replacement invalidates the lease and stale releases cannot affect a newer owner. This avoids a package dependency or shared TUI class identity while preserving running subagents across reload and restoring the standalone panel whenever no valid host owns it.
The composable surface is `statusWidget.render(width, maxBodyRows?, theme?)`. The optional third argument accepts the small structural `{ fg(color, text) }` theme contract, allowing hosted output to use the current Pi theme without importing a shared Theme class. Standalone rendering passes its factory-provided Pi theme. Calls without a theme use a legacy ANSI fallback. Both hosted and standalone output use a compact unboxed `Subagents <count> running` header followed by capped, width-safe body rows; the cap includes an overflow row but not the header. Status colors remain semantic: active/running warning, stalled error, starting dim, waiting accent, with provider tags and elapsed times dimmed.
