Post-completion "Cogitated for Xm Ys" label ignores spinnerVerbs settings override
Description
The spinnerVerbs setting in settings.json lets you override the verb pool used for the live "thinking" spinner shown while a turn is in progress. However, the post-completion summary label (e.g. "Cogitated for 2m 1s") shown after a turn finishes does not respect this override — it continues to use a verb from the default pool (e.g. "Cogitated") even when spinnerVerbs.mode is set to "replace".
Settings used
"spinnerTipsEnabled": false,
"spinnerVerbs": {
"mode": "replace",
"verbs": ["Processing"]
}
Expected behavior
The completion-time label should use the same overridden verb pool as the live spinner (e.g. "Processing for 2m 1s"), or the docs/setting should clarify that spinnerVerbs only affects the in-progress spinner, not the completion summary.
Actual behavior
Live spinner text respects the override; the post-completion "X for Ys" label does not, and instead shows a verb from the default hardcoded pool (e.g. "Cogitated").
Environment
- macOS (Darwin)
- settings.json confirmed correctly applied (verified
~/.claude/settings.jsoncontains the override above)
