Problem Statement

The rotating thinking indicator vocabulary (especially words like "Imagining" or "Doing") erodes trust because it reads as the tool hallucinating or taking initiative rather than just processing and gaining context, and so the option for a simple neutral "Thinking" indicator would be ideal.

Proposed Solution

A setting to enable 'Simple Thinking Indicator' on/off. This would disable all anthropomorphic language from the thinking indicator such as "Unravelling" "Doing" "Elucidating" "Coalescing" "Imagining", replacing them with a simple neutral "Thinking".
