[FEATURE] Loading indicator uses whimsical vocabulary instead of meaningful or neutral status text

Problem Statement

The thinking/loading indicator that appears while Claude Code is processing uses playful, whimsical words like "Discombobulating…" and "Concocting…". While I understand the intent to add personality, this has a few downsides:

• It provides no useful signal about what is actually happening (e.g., running a tool, reading a file, waiting for a model response)
• The vocabulary feels out of place in a developer tool context, especially during longer or repeated tasks
• It can come across as condescending or annoying after the first few times

Proposed Solution

Show what is actually happening — e.g., "Reading file…", "Running tool…", "Waiting for model response…"

Would genuinely improve transparency and trust.

Alternative Solutions

Use neutral, professional language — e.g., "Processing…", "Thinking…"

Is a low-effort improvement over the current behavior.
