The status messages shown while Claude is processing (e.g., "Pontificating", "Tomfoolering", "Waddling") feel patronizing and detract from the professional experience of using the tool.
Request:
Please add an option to either:
- Use straightforward, professional status messages (e.g., "Processing...", "Analyzing...")
- Disable status messages entirely
- Allow users to customize these messages in settings
Why:
These playful messages make the interface feel less serious and can be frustrating during actual work sessions. A configuration option would let users choose their preferred experience.
