Pull request overview
This PR enables the chat input “progress border” by default in non-stable (Insiders) builds and updates the chat UI to honor reduced-motion by suppressing the animated border and falling back to persistent progress details when motion is reduced.
Changes:
- Default
chat.progressBorder.enabledtotruefor non-stable builds and update the setting description to mention reduced motion. - Disable the input “working” border when reduced motion is enabled and react to reduced-motion changes.
- Treat “progress border enabled + reduced motion” like “progress border disabled” for purposes of showing persistent progress details (list/thinking/progress parts).
