What's Wrong?

When the Claude Code UI is thinking, an animated bullet is displayed to the left of the "thinking" text, which changes colours during the process. If the text is a shade of yellow, only the left-hand half of the bullet is coloured - the right-hand half remains white.

If the text is a shade of red, the bullet is correctly coloured.

What Should Happen?

The bullet should be the same colour as the rest of the text for all shades.
