Currently, spinnerVerbs (settings.json) lets you customize the pool of words shown in the spinner, but only one verb is picked per spinner instance — it stays fixed for the entire duration of that tool call/response, even if the operation runs 30+ seconds. A new verb only appears on the next spinner cycle.
Request: add an option to rotate the displayed verb periodically during a single long-running spin (e.g. every 5s), rather than only picking once per spin. Could be a new spinnerVerbs.rotateIntervalSeconds (or similar) setting, defaulting to off/current behavior for backward compatibility.
This would make long waits feel more alive, especially with large custom verb lists (e.g. themed sets like D&D spell/action verbs).
