Problem Statement

Feature Request

The spinnerVerbs setting in ~/.claude/settings.json works correctly
in the CLI (terminal), but is not applied in the VSCode extension.

Current Behavior

  • CLI: spinnerVerbs is respected and custom verbs are displayed.
  • VSCode Extension: spinnerVerbs is ignored; default verbs are shown.

Expected Behavior

The VSCode extension should support spinnerVerbs the same way the CLI does.

Settings Example

{
  "spinnerVerbs": {
    "mode": "replace",
    "verbs": ["custom message 1", "custom message 2"]
  }
}
