[BUG] idle time counter in UI

What's Wrong?

Idle time counter feels like it's in an active state rather than just idle between processes since it mimics the active processing state. Strange UX and feels like it should have a different styling or at least not seem so active - counter implies activity -- not sure what functionality it serves to tell someone how long they've been in Claude Code

What Should Happen?

I would assume the style would be different than the active state OR wouldn't exist on the chat panel and would be behind a secondary view rather than at the top level.
