[UX] Fun spinner status messages #113

@randomm

Description

@randomm

Inspiration

Claude Code uses fun status words like "Lollygagging…" instead of boring "Thinking".

Current oclite

✓ Thinking

Proposed

Rotate through our own fun status messages (NOT copying Claude's):

  • Brewing thoughts…
  • Noodling…
  • Percolating…
  • Churning…
  • Mulling it over…
  • Cooking up ideas…
  • Stewing on it…
  • Hatching plans…

Plus add streaming indicator:

* Percolating… (Esc to cancel · 46s · ↓ 292k tokens)

Implementation

  • Create array of fun verbs in theme or constants
  • Randomly select on each thinking phase
  • Add token streaming indicator (↓)

Priority

Low — cosmetic improvement, adds personality
