[Feature Request] Add technical status messages for actual processing operations during analysis
Bug Description
I'm a physicist and developer using Claude Code regularly. I'd like to request more informative status messages during processing.
Current behavior: Status messages like "dilly-dallying," "pondering," etc. appear after ~1 second of processing.
Requested improvement: Replace these with technical descriptions of actual operations like "Parsing AST...", "Analyzing dependencies...", "Building type graph...", "Reading context files...", "Computing changes..."
Rationale:
- Debugging value - Technical messages help identify bottlenecks when operations are slow
- User preference - Technical users prefer informative over playful language
- Context awareness - Knowing what's happening helps me provide better follow-up instructions
Implementation suggestion: Either make this the default, or add a setting in settings.json like {"statusMessages": "technical"} to respect different user preferences while maintaining transparency.
Thank you for considering this feedback.
