v0.2.2
What's new
Live activity indicator while tools run
The chat no longer looks frozen while the agent works. Previously, once the assistant's text appeared, the status row flipped to "Worked" and stayed silent during long-running tool calls (Bash commands, web fetches) and subagent fan-outs — even though work was still in progress.
- The Working status row now stays lit for as long as any tool or subagent is executing, with a live preview of the latest activity (tool name + arguments summary) next to it
- A single shimmer band sweeps from the Working label to the tool name; running tool calls inside the collapsed group get the same highlight
- Subagent runs render in real time: a row with a pulsing dot and the agent name appears the moment a subagent is dispatched, not just after it finishes
Layout fixes
- Long Bash commands are truncated to a single line again (with a fade at the end) — streamed arguments were never re-measured, which pushed rows past the chat width and caused a horizontal scrollbar
- The activity preview is now inline in the Working title row, so chat content no longer shifts up and down by a line as the preview appears and disappears
