Summary

  • Added a configurable [currently busy] static text indicator as an alternative to the animated spinner
  • This helps neurodivergent users who find motion distracting to maintain focus while interacting with the terminal
  • Fixed a type error where theme.blue was accessed instead of theme.info

Fixes #10244

Allow neurodivergent users to replace distracting spinner animations with a static "[currently busy]" text indicator. This ensures the terminal interface remains accessible and focused for users who find motion distracting.
