Pull request overview
This PR updates the chat “thinking/working” UI to show a friendlier generic label for certain streaming edit-type tool invocations, rather than displaying long/complex tool display names during streaming.
Changes:
- Adds helpers to classify “edit” tool IDs and “generic edit” tool IDs.
- Updates tool invocation icon selection to reuse the new edit-tool classification.
- Replaces the displayed label with a localized “Editing files” string for selected streaming edit tools.
