@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Implement a new spinner using the idiomatic Bubble Tea pattern identified in the research phase.

Context

Based on the design document from the research task, implement a new spinner that follows Bubble Tea best practices while maintaining existing functionality.

Approach

  1. Create new implementation in pkg/console/spinner_v2.go (keep old for now)
  2. Use recommended Bubble Tea pattern (e.g., tea.WithoutRenderer() or direct component)
  3. Maintain existing API: Start(), Stop(), SetMessage()
  4. Preserve TTY detection and accessibility support
  5. Eliminate manual goroutine management and mutexes

Files to Modify

  • Create: pkg/console/spinner_v2.go (new implementation)
  • Reference: pkg/console/spinner.go (for API compatibility)

Implementation Checklist

  • Implement SpinnerV2 struct with same public API
  • Use Bubble Tea program or direct component (no custom goroutines)
  • TTY detection works (disable in pipes/CI)
  • Accessibility support (ACCESSIBLE env var)
  • MiniDot animation style maintained
  • Clean start/stop semantics
  • No mutex required
