Problem Statement

The thinking status labels shown after each response (e.g. "Sautéed for 3s", "Cooked for 3s", "Churned for 2s") are cooking-themed and feel unprofessional in a work context. These should either use neutral language by default (e.g. "Thought for 3s") or be user-configurable via settings.

Proposed Solution

Make them either use neutral language by default (e.g. "Thought for 3s") or be user-configurable via settings.

Alternative Solutions

Do not show them at all and make a cute animation of the logo clenching and relaxing to indicate thinking instead xD
