Spinner disappears while Claude is still processing

What's Wrong?

When Claude Code is working on a task, sometimes the spinner/status
message (like "Pontificating...") disappears even though the output
is not yet complete.

Example:

• Claude says: "Perfect! Let me create a comprehensive analysis document:"
• Spinner disappears
• No output appears
• User doesn't know if Claude is still working or stuck

Environment:

• macOS Sequoia 15.6
• iMac M1 / Intel
• Claude Code latest version

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior:

• Spinner should remain visible until output is complete
• Or show a status like "Writing..." or "Generating..."

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code on macOS
2. Start a conversation and give Claude a complex task

(e.g., "Analyze this codebase and create a comprehensive document")

1. Wait for Claude to respond with something like

"Perfect! Let me create a comprehensive analysis document:"

1. Observe that the spinner (e.g., "Pontificating...", "Cogitating...")

disappears

1. Notice that no output appears, but there's no indication if Claude

is still working or stuck

Expected: Spinner should remain visible until output is complete
Actual: Spinner disappears while Claude is still processing
