Allow customizing thinking status words (ebbing, rippling, etc.)

Feature request

Allow users to customize the list of thinking status words that appear while Claude is processing (e.g., "ebbing", "rippling", "drifting", etc.).

Motivation

Currently these words are hardcoded and there's no way to add custom ones. It would be nice to personalize them — for example, adding "snussing" or any other word that fits the user's vibe.

Proposed solution

Add a configuration option (e.g., in ~/.claude/settings.json) like:

{
  "thinkingWords": ["ebbing", "rippling", "snussing", "vibing"]
}

This could either replace the default list or extend it (with an "extraThinkingWords" key).
