Problem Statement

The terminal UX to claude code uses a lot of and constantly varying words to indicate that claude code is currently processing, like "Deliberating", "Rummaging", etc.

I find this rather distracting, especially b/c the variety of words used has no useful status information for me.

Proposed Solution

I'd like to ask for a feature to opt out of this variety of words and constrain it to a simple "Processing" or this and a few other words that actually carry a meaningful information of different kinds of processing, if that is actually available at all.
