Status line stays stuck after response completes

Bug Description

The status line (activity indicator) remains stuck showing a previous activity after Claude Code has finished responding. It does not clear when the response completes.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run Claude Code in a terminal
2. Give it a prompt that triggers tool use / extended processing
3. Wait for the response to fully complete (cogitation finished, response rendered)
4. Observe the status line — it still shows the old activity text and never clears

Expected Behavior

The status line should clear (or reset to an idle state) once the response is complete.

Actual Behavior

The status line remains stuck showing the last activity from the previous operation, even after the full response has been rendered.

Additional Context

• There is no way to clear just the status line without losing conversation context (/clear wipes the entire conversation history)
• Ctrl+C or typing a new prompt may force it to update, but the status line should auto-clear on completion
• It would also be helpful to have a command that resets the status line independently without clearing conversation context

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.39
• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
