Summary
Fixes #5251 - CLI doesn't show any indication stuff is happening after checkpoints.
Problem
After a checkpoint is saved in the CLI, the "Thinking..." indicator would disappear even though the task was still processing. This left users with no visual feedback for up to 30 seconds, making it appear the CLI was waiting for input when it was actually working.
Solution
Added a new
isProcessingAtomthat detects when the task is processing but not actively streaming:truewhen the last message ischeckpoint_savedtruewhen the last message isapi_req_startedwith a cost (indicating the API call finished but response processing hasn't started)The
StatusIndicatorcomponent now shows "Thinking..." for bothisStreamingandisProcessingstates.Changes
