Summary

Part of #310018 workstream

  • replace the static in-progress sidebar session icon with the existing animated loading spinner
  • keep the existing sessions sidebar status color styling intact
Screen.Recording.2026-04-20.at.2.16.39.PM.mov

Why

Active chats in the sessions sidebar looked static even while work was running. This makes actively running chats match the rest of the sessions app, which already uses animated spinners for loading state.

Render the existing spinning loading icon for in-progress sessions in the sidebar list so active chats match the rest of the sessions app.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Sessions window sidebar list to show an animated spinner for sessions that are actively running, improving perceived activity feedback while preserving the existing status color styling.

Changes:

  • Replace the static sessionInProgress codicon with the standard loading~spin theme icon for SessionStatus.InProgress.
  • Keep the in-progress icon color set to textLink.foreground to preserve current visual styling.
