- **fixed** — Stop pinning intelligence percentage to hardcoded 0% in statusline by deriving it from .claude-flow/neural/patterns.json when CLI does not report a positive value
- **changed** — Cache pattern-count parse on store mtime and size to avoid re-parsing large stores on every prompt render
- **changed** — Render unknown intelligence measurement as — instead of 0% to distinguish genuine absence from actual zero

##### Fix

- **statusline: stop pinning intelligence to a hardcoded 0%** ([#3092](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/pull/3092), closes [#3091](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/issues/3091))

  `intelligencePct` had exactly one assignment in the whole statusline helper, inside the local-CLI fallback path. Every other read used it as-is, and the local-overlay repair pass — which already covers ADRs, AgentDB, tests, hooks, integration, and security — never touched `system`. So any CLI failure (a source-only plugin-marketplace checkout with no install step, or an `npx` fetch dying in a workspace root with no `version` field — both reachable under ordinary conditions) silently pinned the brain segment to a literal `0%` beside sibling segments that were still rendering live data, with nothing to tell them apart.

  `getLocalIntelligence()` now joins the local-overlay set: it derives the percentage from `.claude-flow/neural/patterns.json` (project, then home) whenever the CLI didn't already report a positive value, with the pattern-count parse cached on the store's mtime+size so a large store (14.5 MB / 1,277 patterns measured) doesn't get re-parsed on every prompt render. Unknown now renders as `—` instead of `0%`, so a genuinely-absent measurement is no longer indistinguishable from a real zero.

  Applied identically to both committed copies of the helper (`.claude/helpers/statusline.cjs` and `v3/@claude-flow/cli/.claude/helpers/statusline.cjs`).
